At the top of the respiratory system, the nostrils (also called nares) act as the air intake, bringing air into the nose, where it's warmed and humidified. Tiny hairs called cilia protect the nasal passageways and other parts of the respiratory tract, filtering out dust and other particles that enter the nose through the breathed air.

Simple Squamous epithelial cells are found in the lung (alveoli), lining the lumen of blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, and also in the kidneys.
What cells of the body does radon affect?

What is the function of ciliates cells in the lining of the oviduct?
What is the function of the ciliates cells in the lining of the oviduct
What do septal cells do?
they are involved in keeping alveoli from collapsing
What types of cells express the telomerase?
cells that replenish the lining of the gut
How do the cells lining the bronchus protect the alveoli from damage?
I think that it protects them because they like swish them about and make them covered by a mucusy layer which then protects them further called bronchilus. this eventully stops any damage at all in the alveoli
What does the stem bronchus in the lungs do?
It sends oxygen to individual alveoli in your lungs, which sends oxygen to your body's cells.
What function of the Bronchus?
The function of the bronchus is to split up the air coming into the right and left lungEach bronchiole ends in a cluster of air sacs called alveoli. In the alveoli gases are exchanged during respiration. bronchus(bronchi-plural) held open by cartilage, they convey air into each lung. The bronchi are lined with mucous membrane and ciliated cells which trap and help in the removal of any dirt and dust that enters
What is the scientific name for lung cells?
Pneumocyte. There are two types: Type I cells make up the lining of the air sacks (alveoli) in the lung, type II cells produce a slick liquid called surfactant that helps coat the alveoli and keep them from collapsing when we exhale.
What has a single layer of epithelial cells?
Simple Squamous epithelial cells are found in the lung (alveoli), lining the lumen of blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, and also in the kidneys.
What is the pathway of the blood flow through the heart and lungs in order to get oxygen?
In air through the passageways to the lungs, by diffusion through the alveoli into the blood, by diffusion out of the blood into the cells and through the cells into the mitochondria - where it ceases to exist as oxygen and becomes water.
What do the cells lining the nose do?
The cells lining the nose are called mucus which are considered as specialized cells. These are important because they prevent pollutants from invading and irritating the organs ...so they're there to protect us from infections etc Hope it helped.
How do phagocyte cells use their membranes to protect us?
They have receptors lining their membrane which aid in locating sources of antigens by the chemicals they release.
What cells of the body does radon affect?
Pulmonary alveoli cells
What is the function of ciliates cells in the lining of the oviduct?
What is the function of the ciliates cells in the lining of the oviduct
What is the definition of a generalized cell?
Generalized cells are round or spherical in shape and perform basic life functions. Cheek cells are generalized cells. They are flat, basically round, and protect the inside lining of the mouth.
Why does HCI acid not effect the stomach lining?
it does actually effect the stomach lining, but DNA in your stomach lining cells learn to produce cells faster. The stomach lining keeps burning away cells, but cells keep being produced.
