cilial basal body of left ventral cilium, cilial basal body of left ventral flagellum, ciliary basal body of left ventral cilium, ciliary basal body of left ventral flagellum, cilium basal body of left ventral cilium, cilium basal body of left ventral flagellum, left ventral flagellum ciliary basal body, microtubule basal body of left ventral cilium, microtubule basal body of left ventral flagellum
Note that we deem cilium and microtubule-based flagellum to be equivalent. Also note that, due to the asymmetric nature of the Giardia trophozoite, this term is defined spatially as the trophozoite is viewed from the dorsal side, with the two nuclei dorsal to the ventral disc, and the ventral disc toward the anterior.
