What do the cells in the retina and the cells that line your air passages have in common?
The cells in the retina and the cells that line your air-passages have only one thing in common: they are often seen in close proximity to each other in homework questions about what the relationship between retinal cells and air-passage cells might be.
What are short hair like organelles that can move and may cover a unicellular organism or line the respiratory tract called?
That's called cilia.
How is mucus moved up the respiratory tract?
Mucus, with dirt and pathogens trapped to it, is wafted up the respiratory tract by cilia, which also line our nasal and tracheal passages. This process is comparable to a conveyor belt motion.
Is IgA the antibody found mainly in the intestinal system?
No. It is found in mucous which is produced by mucous membranes, These membranes line all cavities that have an outlet to the outside. This includes the nasal passages, the entire intestinal tract, the respiratory tract and the urogenital tracts.
Do dogs and cats have similar cells?
In the sense that they are eukaryote. Both have a membrane bound nucleus and many membrane bound organelles. Still, plant cells have walls, chloroplasts and central vacuoles, which dog cells do not. Dog cells have lysosomes and centrioles, which plant cells do not. Plant cells are autotrophs, dog cells are heterotrophs.

What are cells that line your breathing passages that move rapidly back and forth?
these are called cilia cells, and they trap the dust and stuff (it's trapped by mucus) that enters your breathing passages. this is then moved by the action of the cells up the breathing passages and into the back of the throat and nose where it can be swallowed

What sweeps mucus around?
Cillia cells (hair) cells 'beat', encouraging the movement of objects/obstructions. Mucous doesn't necessarily get 'Swept around'. It is secreted by epithelial cells-- cells which line the respiratory tracts, the reproductory tracts and there's another I always forget the last thing.

Cilia is the plural form of the Latin for what word?
The Latin word for eyelash is "cilium," and its plural form is "cilia."
What lines the digestive and respiratory tract?
Mucous membranes line the digestive and respiratory tracts.

What types of cells have cilla?
The cells lining the intestinal tract. These produce more surface area so that you can absorb nutrients. Also the same sort of cells line the respiratory tract, these move mucous which has trapped debris. You can swallow and destroy the debris. These some times get over burdened with colds.
Does respiratory mucosa line the trachea?
i dont even know what a mucosa line in the trachea is
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.
