What does cilia do to contaminated mucous?
Cilia push the contaminated mucus out ward. so as to protect your lungs from damage.
Function of cilia in air passage?
Mucus is produced by the goblet cells, in the airways dust particles etc will stick to the mucus, cilia cells then use energy to sweep the mucus up back up through the trachea, where we can swallow it and dust particles and pathogens etc can be broken down by enzymes in the stomach, or we can expell it by sneezing or coughing.
What is the role of cilia and mucus in a healthy non-smoker?
They keep the lungs clean. They take care of dust and bacteria circulating.
What does cilia transport?
cilia transport mucus and other foreign substances such as dust and dander.
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 will be the consequence if your cilia is damadged and more mucus is produced?
The cilia are the little hairs in your respiritory system that move the mucus up and out of your lungs. If you damage the cilia and produce more mucus, then you can't move mucus out of your lungs. If you quit smoking the cilia will heal completely after a few weeks.
How is smoking harmful to your lungs?
Your lungs are the reasons you body has Oxygen. In your lungs, we do produce mucus, which we cough up because of the cilia in our lungs. Smoking causes this cilia to not move the mucus out of your lungs which in turn causes problems.
What is the purpose of cilia in the airway?
Airway motile cilia move mucus out of the lungs, and mucus traps inhaled particulate, smoke and dust.
Describe how cilia work?
cilia "beat" in a rythmatic motion to force mucus and substances away from the lungs.
What does cilia do to contaminated mucous?
Cilia push the contaminated mucus out ward. so as to protect your lungs from damage.
How much mucus and cilia help to keep the lungs clean?
yes
What cell produces mucus and cilia waft towards mouth and nose?
Mucus is a sticky substance. Describe how mucus and cilia keep the lungs free of bacteria and dust particles.
What is the function of the cilia and the mucus in the windpipe?
The cilia are tiny hairs which act to trap dust or dirt particles in the air that people breathe. The cilia and the mucus helps to keep dust and dirt out of the lungs.
Debris that is trapped in mucus is moved away from the lungs toward the throat by?
cilia
How does the paralysis of the cilia that lines the airways effect ones health?
Mucus can't be moved out of the lungs
How does pneumonia affect the bronchi?
Bronchitis damaged your cilia which is very dangerous. the function of cilia is to move the mucus out of your trachea but since there will be no cilia the mucus will accumulate in the lungs and will reduce the air being inhaled which can suffocate you. u cannot exercise. your stamina will go down and things like that
