When you smoke your cilia get paralyzed for 90 minutes, that way mucus can not come up. "morning cough" is because your cilia are not paralyzed while you sleep, therefore all that mucus is trying to get coughed up when you wake up. Most people just start up the day with yet more smoking.
I really hope this helps.

∙ 9y agoThat is a very good question! Smoking kills the cilia from your most of the tracheobronchial tree. Ciliated epithelium is replaced by stratified squamous epithelium. This adversely affect the function of the tracheobronchial tree. The foreign particles are not thrown out side and may cause pneumoconioses. You get repeated bouts of acute bronchitis, leading to chronic bronchitis. There is stagnation of the carcinogens leading to lung cancer, eventually.

∙ 14y agoSmoking has a vast spectrum of effects on your ciliated epithelial cells, but out of the 4,000 chemicals in a cigarette, tar is the most harmful and destructive of all.
The tar covers these cells and severely limits their performance. As a result, the mucus and dirt that naturally accumulates in your airway can not be transported to your throat for you to swallow it/ cough it out of your corporal system.
Because the mucus and dirt then pile, up the negative toll on the cilia is that they are destroyed. Over time they begin to die as a result of smoking. This makes your lungs extensively vulnerable to chemicals and diseases, but it also generally restricts your breathing.
The amount of mucus increases (and also irritates and inflames your lungs) and this process can cause detrimental changes.

∙ 7y agoThe cells in the trachea has got cilia. These cilia play very important role in respiration. They expel any foreign particles out of your respiratory tract. These cilia gets damages by chronic and severe smoking. The stratified ciliated epithelium is replaced by stratified squamous epithelium. It no longer help to expel the foreign particles out of your respiratory tract.

∙ 12y agoSmoking damages the cilia so they aren't able to remove the mucus, dirt and tar from the lungs. It leads to a smokers cough.

∙ 14y agoTar stops the cilia from doing it's job properly therefore making it harder to breathe and spreading bacteria and dust into your systems. PS. Wirral Grammar school 4 girls rox! Thanks

∙ 11y agoIts all because the cells can't do there job probably, because it can't get rid of the mucus, dirt or tar from the lungs.

∙ 9y agoThe tiny hair-like cilia are destroyed and the pollen and other pollunants that should be removed are not.

Where is ciliated epithelium found?
Ciliated epithelium is located in the lining of most body cavities. Some of the cavities that have ciliated epithelium are the lungs, trachea, and nose. Ciliated epithelium serves to keep dust and debris out of the lungs and control the flow of mucus.in your lungs . Its The tissue in your lungs!!In the respiratory tractThe ciliated epithelium is a type of tissue located inside the nose. Cilia or nose hairs are situated on top of the ciliated epithelium and triggers sneezing when dust particles are caught in the cilia.In what organ will you find ciliated epithelium? Primarily in the trachea.
What is the function of ciliated epithelium?
Ciliated epithelium is found as the lining the respiratory tract from the nose to the trachea. This cilia secretes and propels mucous as well as sweeping dust and other irritants away from the lung.
What is function of cilia in gaseous exchange?
More often in the area of bronchi there is formation of viscous mucous going through which becomes at extreme level during the cold and cough as normally we experience during the winter times. But the main function of ciliated cell is to provide the more surface area to enzymes which are digesting or metabolizing the mucous continuously.This answer does not answer what the special function is lol
What tissue does ciliated cell form?
A ciliated epithelial cell is can be found in the esophagus, trachea, or even lining the inner wall of the intestine
How does pseudostratified epithelium differ from other stratified epithelium?
Plant and animal cell

What is a group of ciliated epithelial cell called?
Within the Eye, the Ciliary Body consists of four levels: the Ciliary Muscles; the Vascular layer; the Ciliary process, and the Ciliary Epithelium.

What happens to a cilia cell after smoking?
Heavy smoking causes the cilia to die off. Which means the lungs are not cleaned properly.
What is ciliated columnar?
Ciliated columnar is a type of cell. Ciliated means that it has tiny hairlike projections on top of the cells that are usually used to capture unwanted pathogens and bacteria before they can do any damage to the body. Columnar is simply the shape of the cell. The cells are tall and skinny, shaped almost like a pillar from a building.
Is a Ciliated Epithelial Cell a plant cell?
no
What tissue does ciliated cell form?
A ciliated epithelial cell is can be found in the esophagus, trachea, or even lining the inner wall of the intestine
What are 10 types of cells?
Cardiac muscle cell, skeletal muscle cell, smooth muscle cell, fat cell, neuron, stratified squamous epithelial cell, ciliated epithelial cell, bone cell, neutrophil, and erythrocyte(red blood cell)
What is the letter of the ciliated cell?
h
What is ciliated cell's adptation?
Ciliated cells help to clear dust and dirt from your airways with tiny hairs.
When does a ciliated cell die?
A ciliated cell dies when it finishes doing it job which is either to sweep up mucus to the throat or to brush up dust and destroy it.
