The ciliated cells has tiny hairs on it, called cilia, which sweep mucus, which is produced by goblet cells, up the airway. The mucus traps dirt particles and stop them from entering the lungs and causing infection. The ciliated cell therefore sweeps mucus up the airway where it is either swallowed or coughed out.

What tissue does ciliated cell form?
A ciliated epithelial cell is can be found in the esophagus, trachea, or even lining the inner wall of the intestine
What is the function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree?
The function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree is secretion and absorption. These cells control the mucus produced.
Structure and function of the airway?
The airway of the respiratory system is mainly to do with the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli duct. Trachea composes of Pseudostratified columnar, ciliated epithelium, Goblet cells, Sero-mucous glands and Cartilage rings. Its main function is to allow air to pass and reach the bronchioles and to trap dust by the presence of the cilia lining its epithelium membrane. The bronchi is composed of Pseudostratified columnar, ciliated epithelium (shorter), Goblet cells (fewer), Sero-mucous glands, Cartilage, Smooth muscle. main function is to bring air into the lungs because their walls are too thick to permit gass exchange. The bronchioles is made up of Simple columnar or cuboidal & ciliated epithelium,No goblet cells,Smooth muscle (relatively abundant), Clara cells is to permit the movement of gas int the alveoli duct in-order for gaseous exchange to take place.
Where is the cell membrane on a ciliated epithelial cell?
Well, the cell membrane is on the outside of a cell. So that is the answer , on the outside of the cell, protecting the inner part.
Which part of the ciliated epithelial cell is used for sweeping?
the hairs
What job does the ciliated cell do?
I need to know how ciliated cells help the fertilised egg to function
How is a ciliated epithelial cell modified?
A ciliated epithelial cell is modified in various ways to be able to perform its function. It is shaped like a wine goblet and that is why they are commonly referred to as goblet cells.
Is a Ciliated Epithelial Cell a plant cell?
no
What is the MAIN function of the mucous glands and ciliated epithelial cells that line the airway tubes of the respiratory system?
To trap inhaled particles and move them out of the airways.
What tissue does ciliated cell form?
A ciliated epithelial cell is can be found in the esophagus, trachea, or even lining the inner wall of the intestine
What is the letter of the ciliated cell?
h
What is the function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree?
The function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree is secretion and absorption. These cells control the mucus produced.
What is ciliated cell's adptation?
Ciliated cells help to clear dust and dirt from your airways with tiny hairs.
When does a ciliated cell die?
A ciliated cell dies when it finishes doing it job which is either to sweep up mucus to the throat or to brush up dust and destroy it.
Why do you need ciliated cell?
because they clear out the lungs
What is the function of the ciliated cell?
A ciliated cell contains hair-like structures that detect foreign bodies, such as dust particles and bacteria. These foreign particles, as well as excess mucus, are removed from the airways to prevent blockage.
What is a ciliated cell designed to stop?
Mucus can get into your lungs if your ciliated cells stop working.
