When does cilia do not resume proper function after smoking?
Your cilia do not get affected by the occasional smoking. Cilia are affected in chronic smokers. But then there is probably nothing like occasional smoking. You are either a chronic smoker or nonsmoker. Smoking two cigarettes can make you addicted to smoking. Your cilia get damaged by chronic smoking. The pseudstratified ciliated epithelium is eventually replaced by stratified squamous epithelim in case of the chronic smokers. Such type of change is called as metaplasia. If you stop the smoking the original epithelium is resumed eventually.
Where is the cilia located in the cell?
Around the cell bodies but it also attaches itself to a microtube at one point.
What are Hair like structures that move materials along the outer surface of the cell?
Cilia in eukaryotes and flagella in Protists and Bacteria.
The function of cilia is to?
To help simple organisms move. They act like legs
True or false cilia and flagella are cell surface structures that are adapted for respiration?
No, It is not used for respiration instead it is used for the movement or locomotion of body.
Cigarette smoking paralizes small cell extensions that beat to create an upward current what are these extensions called?

Why does tobacco smoke imobilize cilia?
The heat from smoking is too high for the cilia to live. The heat actually burns the cilia and kills the cell.
