A schematic shows a bacillus-shaped bacterium with numerous short, hair-like fimbriae (pili) distributed around the cell surface and a single long polar flagellum. In microbiology and bacteriology, this prokaryotic cell depicts extracellular appendages attached to a bacterial cell body. Fimbriae mediate adhesion to host tissues and abiotic surfaces, whereas the flagellum provides motility and chemotaxis. These structures are located on the outer surface of the cell envelope.
