The cilia serve mostly as a filter, to catch things like bacteria and viruses in the air. This is why smoking is especially bad, because the smoke damages that filter.

What is the function of globlet cells and cilia in trachea?
Mucus secreted by goblet cells trap the foreign particles. Cilia push the particles out wards. This protects your lungs from damage by the foreign particles.
Microvilli cilia and goblet cells are modifications of which type of epithelial tissue?
simple columnar
What cells line the trachea?
The cilia are always moving, bacteria or particles of dust trapped in the mucus are moved away by cilia. The cilia waft the mucus containing bacteria and dust up to the back of the throat, so that it doesn't block up the trachea and thus keeps it clean.
How does cilia protect us from diseases?
Ciliated epithelial cells protect the body because they are the producers of sweat. Other names for these cells include cuboidal and squamous.
Do Cilia Cells Absorb Water?
The primary function of cilia is that of movement. They can be found on bacteria, microscopic organisms and even in the human digestive and reproductive systems.
What is the protective function of the cilia and goblet cells of the trachea?

The tracheal epithelium is ciliated and has goblet cells what is the function of each of these modifications?
The function of the goblet cells are to secrete mucus which will trap any dust particles and bacteria that may have been inhaled. The cilia work together with the goblet cells by beating, pushing the mucus liquid up, out of the trachea with the dust particles ad bacteria that need to be removed from the body. This beating action by the cilia is known as the 'sweeping action'.
Microvilli cilia and goblet cells are modifications of which type of epithelial tissue?
simple columnar
If the goblet cells produce extra mucus and cilia that are damaged what will happen?
you die of ventilation problems... :(
What is psuedostratified columnar epithelium?
looks as if it is more than one layer, but not all cells reach free surfaceoften has goblet cells and ciliathe function is secreting and moving mucousfound in the repiratory tract from nose to bronchi, and some parts of the male reproductive tract.

When a person breaths in cigarette smoke the goblet cells produce extra mucus and the cilia are damaged what will be the conseuquences of this?
cilia protect you lungs by stopping and bacteria and dust from reaching them. if the cilia is damaged then dust and bacteria will be able to get down you throat and cause a lot of damage. hope this helped :)

Do glands secrete mucus?
You may be thinking of the sublingual gland. But there are many mucus secreting cells embedded in the epithelium of various tissues (such as intestinal tract, female reproductive tract, etc.)
What are the differences between pili and cilia other than the differences in their function?
They are almost the same but the pilus or pili extends. although, the pilus or pili and the cilia had the same use. _marcelo anzano_ Pili are found on prokaryotic cells. Cilia are found on eukaryotic cells.
