Why does the lining of the trachea contain mucus-secreting cells and cells with cilia?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
some cells in this lining secrete a sticky liquid called mucus, which traps particles of dirt or bacteria that are breathed in. Other cells are covered with timy hair-like structures called cilia. It sweeps the mucus and trapped particles out toward the mouth.

Are epithelial cells of the trachea similar in size and structure to those lining the?
lining the what?
Where is psuedostratified epithelium located?
Psuedostratified epithelial tissue is epithelial tissue that looks as though it is multiple layers, i.e. stratified, but actually each cell is anchored to the basement membrane. It can be found chiefly lining the respiratory tract.
How are the bronchial tubes and the trachea similar?
The trachea contains cartilage rings and mucous glands. The bronchioles contain no cartilage and no mucous glands. Bronchioles contain Clara cells (that the trachea does not). Respiratory bronchioles contain alveoli, which are very thin-walled blind ending sacs where gas exchange occurs - these are not present in the trachea.

What are the hair like structures that line the trachea?
Trachea's inner lining(lining that faces the hollow side) is comprised of ciliated epithelium which rests on a basement membrane made of protein fibers. In between the ciliates cells the goblet cells are situated. Beneath the epithelium is an area of loos tissue and tracheal glands that secrets mucus (both tracheal glands and goblet cells secrets mucus so don't get confused which one produces mucus). There is a C-Shaped cartilage in outer lining that supports the trachea.

Why does HCI acid not effect the stomach lining?
it does actually effect the stomach lining, but DNA in your stomach lining cells learn to produce cells faster. The stomach lining keeps burning away cells, but cells keep being produced.
Why was the inner lining of the cheek used for the study of fresh mount of animal cells?
the mouth is a part of the digestive system. cells in the digestive system are the most quick cells to be replaced. so taking a sample from it won't cause much problem, unlike you take it by cutting open your leg and taking a sample. the lining of the cheek is the easiest to take rather than having to take it from somewhere else. and the cells in the mouth are alive, unlike skin cells that are dead. conclusion : it is the safest, fastest way to get live animal cells

Why are animal cells flagellated?
The majority of animal (Kingdom Animalia) cells are not technically flagellated. Flagella are defined as long, thread like structures that propel a cell by rotating (like a propeller). The only cells in the human body that are technically considered flagellated are spermatozoa (males only). However, eukaryotic flagella are structurally identical to cilia (differs only in length and mode of motion). Cilia produces motion by rhythmic beating rather than rotation. Many animal cells, therefore, are ciliated. Examples in the human body include ciliated cells lining the trachea where they are responsible for 'sweeping out' foreign material attached to the surface of the trachea, and cells lining the Fallopian tubes that use cilia to sweep along the ovum during the female reproductive cycle.
