∙ 9y agoThe tiny hair-like structures that line the air passages are called cilia. They help to filter foreign particles and prevent them from entering the lungs.

Phlegm contains all the nasties we breath in and our immune system captures in snot.

What is the difference between a villi and microvilli?
Both are found inside the small intestine, are microscopic, and are used to increase the surface area of the small intestine. Villi are tiny microscopic folds in the small intestine lining. Microvilli are little hairlike projections from individual epithelial cells of the small intestine. They have capillaries and a lacteal that lead to the circulatory and lymph systems to transport nutrients that are absorbed.
What are short hairlike projections on a cell surface?
Long and few - or one - are flagella, short and numerous are called cilia.
What connects the upper and lower respiratory systems?
The Cricoid cartilage. The larynx is the organ at the end of the upper respiratory tract (responsible for preventing food and drink going down the airway and contains the vocal chords) the trachea is the first organ in the lower respiratory tract (the windpipe). The thyroid cartilage is located around the mid to lower larynx and the cricoid cartilage links the bottom of the larynx to the top of the trachea. The epithelial cells (internal surface) change from mostly squamous cells (smooth lining) to columnar epithelial cells (many with microscopic hairlike protrusions called cilia).
Type of tissue that covers the body surface?
epithelial tissue
The tissue that always has a free surface exposed to the internal or external environment?
Epithelial tissue
What are short hairlike projections on a cells surface that are composed of micro-tubules?
Cillia
What are short hairlike projections on cell surface that are composed of microtubules?
eukaryotic cells
What is the cell's hairlike structure that helps with locomotion?
Hairlike projections that aid in the movement of substances along a cell's surface are called cilia
What is microvilli'?
Tiny projections on the free surface of some epithelial cells; increase surface area for absorption
Which of these is the best definition for cilia?
Cilia are tiny hairlike projections in, for example the small intestine, that increase the surface area. They usually have a good blood supply.
Your respiratory surface is covered with which cells that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to exchange?
Epithelial

What structures are involved in cell movement?
Cilia are short, hairlike projections that usually occur in large numbers on the surface of certain cells. Flagellaare long, tail like projections. Unlike ciliates, flagellates usually have one flagellum.
What tissue forms the inner lining of the respiratory passages?
The type of epithelial tissue that lines much of the respiratory tract is called pseudostratified columnar. This type of tissue also moves substances across its surface.
Hairlike structures along the surface of mucous membrane?
