How does cilia prevent pathogens from entering your body?
Cilia protect your body from pathogens up to a certain extent. The cilia in your lungs prevent dust particles and other such particles you breathe from entering your lungs by trapping them and sweeping them away. The cilia located on the cell membrane prevents certain substances from entering the selectively permeable cell membrane through that same manner. However, if you get a cut or something, cilia are not really going to protect pathogens from entering your body from that cut.
