Cells lining the trachea have whiplike mortile extensions on their free surfaces What are their extensions what is their source and what is their function?
These extensions are cilia and they continually propel debris-laden mucus toward the pharynx. Their source is the micro tubules that exert pressure on the plasma membrane
What does cilia do to contaminated mucous?
Cilia push the contaminated mucus out ward. so as to protect your lungs from damage.
What is the trachea lined with to sweep away particles and dust?
The trachea is lined with ciliated columnar epithelium, which has hundreds of tiny hairs called cilia.
What is the function of cilia in the lungs?
Cilia are present all over the bronchial tree. Cilia propel the foreign particles out wards.
What is the tube held open by rings of cartilage lined with cilia and mucous membrane?
The trachea.
The trachea is lined with what?
The trachea is lined with a moist mucous-membrane layer made up of cells containing small hairs called cilia. The cilia project into the channel (lumen) of the trachea to trap particles. There are also cells and ducts in the mucous-membrane that secrete mucus droplets and water molecules.Cilia are whiplike, motile cellular extensions that occur, typically in large numbers, on exposed surfaces of certain cells. In the trachea, ciliated cells that line the respiratory tract propel mucus laden with dust particle and bacteria upward away from the lungs. Centrioles, referred to as basal bodies, are the originating source of cilia.
Do paramecia have a flagella?
No, paramecia have cilia, which are tiny hair-like projections that propel the paramecium through its environment. Both flagella and cilia propel their cell through its environment.
What is the role the cilia the respiratory tract?
It is used to filter out dust and pollen when breathing in, and also is used to heat the air we breathe in through our nose.
What occurs when the cilia that line your trachea and bronchi?

Where are cilia located?
Cilia are found on the outside of the cell as projections for bacteria and virus.
What are 2 structures that could propel a eukaryotic microorganism?
flagella and cilia
What is the purpose of the mucous membrane and cilia in the trachea?
Mucous membranes and cilia in the trachea trap and eliminate particulate matter from inhaled air. The membranes also warm and moisten incoming air.
