It is composed of columnar cells that have a single cilium at the apical surface. The cilia beat in a coordinated fashion to sweep fluid and debris from the surface of the cells. The ependyma also contains numerous microvilli that increase the surface area for absorption.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structure\"><\/span>Structure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>of an Atom<\/p>\n<p>The atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the chemical properties of that element.
