Little hairs that direct dirt and debris out of system... We have cilia in our nose, lungs, and even our inner ears. Probably other places as well... I'm just not sure where else. The cilia in our inner ear helps us hear.
The cilia (ciliated epithelial cell) helps clean out our lungs and if we smoke our cilia may stop working which means our lungs will get cloged up and you'll find it harder to breath.
Easier: Hairlike structure arranged in tightly packed rows that projects from the surface of some cells.

∙ 9y agoAn analogy for cilia would involve something with wavy hairs, like a mermaid in the ocean. The ocean would represent the movement of material and the hairy would show the reaction to the movement.

What are the hair like structures that are known as the street sweepers of the lungs called?
The hair-like structures found in the lungs are known as cilia, specifically motile cilia. There are other forms of cilia as well, for example non-motile cilia can be found in other organ systems, and as organelles on many cells in the body.
