No. Flagella and Cilia are organelles that are used for either movement of the cell (like flagella in sperm cells) or for moving particles (like cilia on epithelial cells of lungs that move dust and other particles out of the lungs). Liver cells are immobile and don't move any particles either, therefore they don't have any flagella or cilia.

No. In humans the only flagella is on the sperm cell. There are many locations in humans that do have cilia like the fallopian tubes, or the respiratory tree, and even in the central nervous system but not the liver.

No...cilia and flagella are used only for cell motility (being able to move), and since the liver has no need to move, it does not have cilia or flagella.

I would think not since cilia and flagella are primarily for movement. and you would find cilia like in the respiratory tract. Then flagella can be found on sperm..
Hope this helps

No, liver cells do not move
