What is the protective function of the cilia and goblet cells of the trachea?
Mucus secreted by goblet cells trap the foreign particles. Cilia push the particles out wards. This protects your lungs from damage by the foreign particles.
What is the function of globlet cells and cilia in trachea?
Mucus secreted by goblet cells trap the foreign particles. Cilia push the particles out wards. This protects your lungs from damage by the foreign particles.
The tracheal epithelium is ciliated and has goblet cells what is the function of each of these modifications?
The function of the goblet cells are to secrete mucus which will trap any dust particles and bacteria that may have been inhaled. The cilia work together with the goblet cells by beating, pushing the mucus liquid up, out of the trachea with the dust particles ad bacteria that need to be removed from the body. This beating action by the cilia is known as the 'sweeping action'.
What is the protective function of the cilia and goblet cells?
The cilia serve mostly as a filter, to catch things like bacteria and viruses in the air. This is why smoking is especially bad, because the smoke damages that filter.
Microvilli cilia and goblet cells are modifications of which type of epithelial tissue?
simple columnar
If the goblet cells produce extra mucus and cilia that are damaged what will happen?
you die of ventilation problems... :(
Are goblet cells assigned with any other function than secreting mucin?
apart from secreting mucin , goblet cells are assigned with the function of water reabsorption.
What is psuedostratified columnar epithelium?
looks as if it is more than one layer, but not all cells reach free surfaceoften has goblet cells and ciliathe function is secreting and moving mucousfound in the repiratory tract from nose to bronchi, and some parts of the male reproductive tract.
What cells line the trachea?
The cilia are always moving, bacteria or particles of dust trapped in the mucus are moved away by cilia. The cilia waft the mucus containing bacteria and dust up to the back of the throat, so that it doesn't block up the trachea and thus keeps it clean.
When a person breaths in cigarette smoke the goblet cells produce extra mucus and the cilia are damaged what will be the conseuquences of this?
cilia protect you lungs by stopping and bacteria and dust from reaching them. if the cilia is damaged then dust and bacteria will be able to get down you throat and cause a lot of damage. hope this helped :)
What is the function of the goblet cells and which type of membrane do they occur?
Function: To secrete mucus to coat and protect the epithelia.Membrane: Mucous Membrane
Do Cilia Cells Absorb Water?
The primary function of cilia is that of movement. They can be found on bacteria, microscopic organisms and even in the human digestive and reproductive systems.
