Cilia is a hair like cell in your body, mainly in your lungs protecting you from debris from the air. These little hair like cells protect your lungs by carrying debris from your lungs and back up to be swallowed and destroyed by the powerful stomach acids in your body. The mucus lining in the respirator tract helps collect debris, bacteria and mucous away from the lungs.
