Cells with visible projections include nerve cells (neurons) with axons and dendrites, and some types of immune cells like T cells and B cells which have receptors and antibodies that can extend outwards. Additionally, sperm cells have a tail-like projection called a flagellum.
Some epithelial cells have visible projections which can either be microvilli or stereocilia which have a central core of microfilaments supporting them or they can have cilia which have a central core of microtubules and motor proteins that can make them move.
Visible projections in cells are extensions commonly used for movement. Some cells with visible projections are sperm cells, red blood cells and epithelial cells.

What cell has longer projections that move with a whiplike motion?
Sperm cells have longer projections called flagella that allow them to move with a whiplike motion, aiding in their mobility and ability to reach the egg for fertilization.
What is the microscopic hairlike projections found in the cells lining most of the respiratory tract called?
Cilia are the microscopic hairlike projections found in the cells lining most of the respiratory tract. They help to sweep mucus and trapped particles out of the airways to protect the lungs from infections and irritants.
What is the answer of finger like projections that increases surface area of the small intestine?
The answer is villi. Villi are finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption. They are lined with cells that absorb nutrients from digested food.
What layer of skin appears to have thorn like projections in prepared slides?
The layer of skin that appears to have thorn-like projections in prepared slides is the stratum spinosum, also known as the spinous layer. These projections are called desmosomes, which connect adjacent skin cells together, giving the appearance of thorns or spines when viewed under a microscope.
What are short hairlike projections used for locomotion called?
Short hairlike projections used for locomotion are called cilia. Cilia are found on the surface of many types of cells and are used to move the cell or to move substances along the cell's surface.
Do human blood cells have visible projections?
No.
Do human red blood cells have visible projections?
No.
What cells have visible projections amongst muscle cells red blood cells and sperm cells viewed under a light microscope?
Muscle cells have visible projections called myofibrils, red blood cells lack visible projections due to their biconcave disc shape, and sperm cells have a visible projection called a flagellum which helps in motility.
What are the fingerlike projections that greatly increase the surface are of cells?
stereocilia
What are short hairlike projections that enable the motion of eukaryote cells?
Cilia
Hairlike projections of cells that move substances along their surfaces are?
Cilia
Tiny projections maintained by microfilaments of the surface of digestive cells are?
Microvilli
What are short hairlike projections on a cells surface that are composed of micro-tubules?
Cillia
What are short hairlike projections on cell surface that are composed of microtubules?
eukaryotic cells
What are the hairlike projections called?
I am guessing you are referring to cilia, which are tiny hair like projections in the human body that help move cells, and keep out germs.
Short hairlike projections that enable the motion of some eukaryotic cells are called?
cilia
What is in a brain?
Inside a brain is: grey matter (the bodies of the brain cells) and white matter (the fat covered projections of the brain cells).
