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.

What is the tube held open by rings of cartilage lined with cilia and mucous membrane?

Your trachea and bronchi are lined with these two things?
cilliated squamous epithellium cells
What tube present in the human body is lined with ciliates epithelium?
maybe trachea??
Which structure in humans in lined with ciliated mucous membrane is supported by cartilaginous rings and functions as a passage way for air?
The trachea
What is the definition of bronchide?
The bronchide are the divisions of the bronchi of which are the two tubes which are split from the trachea or the windpipe.The larger bronchioles are lined with full rings of cartilage but the smaller ones that can easily collapse are lined with flattened cuboid shaped epithelial cells.
What is the similarities of the respiratory system between a dog and human?
Both the human and grasshopper respiratory systems have structures called trachea that are lined with epithelial cells.
Opening into the trachea is called?
The inside of the trachea is called the tracheal wall, the rings tracheal rings. The inside of the trachea is called the tracheal wall, the rings tracheal rings. The inside of the trachea is called the tracheal wall, the rings tracheal rings.
How are the bronchial tubes and the trachea similar?
The trachea contains cartilage rings and mucous glands. The bronchioles contain no cartilage and no mucous glands. Bronchioles contain Clara cells (that the trachea does not). Respiratory bronchioles contain alveoli, which are very thin-walled blind ending sacs where gas exchange occurs - these are not present in the trachea.
How does the trachea function in the human body?
The trachea (or windpipe) is just a hollow tube that is anterior to your esophagus that allows air to pass from your mouth to your lungs. It functions by staying open and unobstructed with help from the epiglottis and the "C" shaped cartilage that lines the trachea.
What doe the tracheas do?
It carries air from the mouth or nose to the lungs. The trachea brings air into the lungs but it doesn't help with the digestive system.The trachea is neither bone, nor tissue. It is a rigid muscular tube that connects the nose and mouth to the lungsThe trachea or wind pipe as it is called is a tube which connects the mouth to the lungs and is a passage for air to be conducted during breathingThe trachea allows air to go past the larynx and into either the left and right bronchi.The trachea (or windpipe) is the tube forming a passage that delivers air to and from the lungs. The trachea also contains the ciliated cells and goblet cells that are able to trap and sweep out dust.The trachea is lined with mucous membranes and cilia, which traps dust, bacteria, and pollen. The trachea also stays open at all times so you don't suffocate.
