When is mucus produced in the cell lining the walls of the bronchi and bronchioles?

Mucus naturally occurs. As it is sticky, it is there to trap airborne particles before they get to the lungs.
To expel mucus, for example, by coughing, is quite normal.

Which organ contains alveolit and bronchioles and bronchi that are moist with mucus and lined with cillia?
i was asking y'all stupid asses
What substance produced by the lining of the nasal cavity?

Which source provides moisture to the terminal bronchioles?
The moisture in the terminal bronchioles is provided by the mucous glands and goblet cells present in the bronchial walls. These cells secrete mucus, which helps to keep the airways moist and trap inhaled particles for removal by the cilia lining the bronchioles.
How is mucus removed from the lungs?
The mucus acts as an internal humidifier to moisten the air entering your lungs. It is also used in conjunction with hairs located in the bronchi and bronchioles to move foreign matter up and out of the lung so it can be expelled (coughed) out.
What are the characteristics of bronchiolitis?
The lung tissue begins to swell and produce mucus, and the cells lining the bronchioles begin to slough off into the air passages. As the airways narrow from swelling, and mucus accumulation, breathing becomes difficult
What flows in the bronchioles?
The alveoli is found at the end of each Bronchiole and Bronchi. The alveoli gets rid of all the carbon dioxide that is in our lungs.If you need more help just ask another question and I'll be free to answer it.
Why is mucus produced by the cells of the stomach lining?
If your stomach didn't produce a new layer of mucus every week, it would digest itself.
What is the mucus?
Also referred to as the mucociliary escalator; covers bronchi, bronchioles, and nose in the respiratory tract. It is composed of the mucus-secreting goblet cells and ciliated epithelium found in the mucosa lining of the respiratory tract. The cilia are continually beating, pushing mucus up and out into the throat, forming a major barrier against infection. Microorganisms trying to infect the respiratory tract are caught in the sticky mucus and moved up by this mucuciliary escalator. The mucus is pushed into the throat and swallowed, then digested by the body, preventing the microorganisms from causing any harm/infection to the body
