They don't the only way to keep dirt from going into your throat is to breathe through your nose where your nose hair and mucus provide traps for dirt.

Yout throat cells have tiny hairs which trap and prevent dust and dirt from going into your body, you also have these cells in your nose too.

How does the ciliated cell adapt?

well basically the ciliated cells line all the air passages in your lungs.they have tiny hairs which filter the air as it blows through the hairs also sweep mucus (snot) with trapped dust and bacteria up to the back of the throat where it is swallowed.


What paralyzed and kills cilia?

Cilia paralysis is when the cilia (tiny hairs on the end of some cells) stop working due to excessive smoking or part of the body not functioning properly. This means that dirt, microbes and excess mucus travel down the throat. This can cause harm to the lungs and trouble breathing. I hope you found this useful ;)


What is the function of a ciliated cell in the airway?

The ciliated cells has tiny hairs on it, called cilia, which sweep mucus, which is produced by goblet cells, up the airway. The mucus traps dirt particles and stop them from entering the lungs and causing infection. The ciliated cell therefore sweeps mucus up the airway where it is either swallowed or coughed out.


What protects the eardrum from dirt?

Hair cells.


How do epithelial cells adapt to remove dirt?

the goblet cells in the bronchioles produce a mucus which traps foreign substances in the airway such as pollen, pathogens and dust particles. The cilia of the ciliated cells will then waft the mucus and the trapped particles up to the larynx where it can be swallowed and the pathogens can be destroyed by the stomach acid. The cilia can waft due to the energy produced in the cells (in the form of ATP) by the mitochondria.

What is Cilia in the repiratory system?

Cilia are cells with tiny hairs like parts on them found in your trachea and lungs. They aid in the movement of mucous and dirt particles out of your lungs. They can also be permanently damaged by smoking resulting in the inability to effectively clean the lungs.

How do the epithelium cells in the windpipe push up dustback up into the throat?

Goblet cells in the epithelium produce mucus that traps the dust and dirt that is taken into the windpipe through the mouth and nose. The long, finger-like cillia cells then sweep the mucus back up the windpipe to the throat where it can be swallowed and then destroyed in the stomach by the digestive juices and acids.

What problems do smokers have when the cilia are affected?
