The cilia are always moving, bacteria or particles of dust trapped in the mucus are moved away by cilia.
The cilia waft the mucus containing bacteria and dust up to the back of the throat, so that it doesn't block up the trachea and thus keeps it clean.

Are epithelial cells of the trachea similar in size and structure to those lining the?
lining the what?
What substance is like an oxygen magnet in one of the blood cells and carries oxygen to body cells?
The trachea carries air from the larynx to the lungs. The trachea is a tube that leads to two smaller tubes called bronchi See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin
What is the tube held open by rings of cartilage lined with cilia and mucous membrane?
The trachea.
What is the function of globlet cells and cilia in trachea?
Mucus secreted by goblet cells trap the foreign particles. Cilia push the particles out wards. This protects your lungs from damage by the foreign particles.
Passageway for air from the environment into the respiratory system?
nostrils or oral cavity > nasal cavity > pharynx > epiglotis > larynx ( the voice box ) > trachea (windpipe) > bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli > blood > cells
Does respiratory mucosa line the trachea?
i dont even know what a mucosa line in the trachea is
What type of epithelial tissue is found in the esophagus?
Pseudostratified columnar cells line the inside of the trachea and simple squamous cells make up the alveoli
Where is trachea located?
In the lumen of the trachea, this is the area that is in contact with the air coming in.Cilia are projections on the end of columnar epithelial cells that line the trachea (windpipe), they are responsible for beating (in a 'waving' motion) mucus filled with debris up the trachea out of the lungs and to the epiglottis where it can be swallowed and broken down safely in the stomach.
The trachea is lined with what?
The trachea is lined with a moist mucous-membrane layer made up of cells containing small hairs called cilia. The cilia project into the channel (lumen) of the trachea to trap particles. There are also cells and ducts in the mucous-membrane that secrete mucus droplets and water molecules.Cilia are whiplike, motile cellular extensions that occur, typically in large numbers, on exposed surfaces of certain cells. In the trachea, ciliated cells that line the respiratory tract propel mucus laden with dust particle and bacteria upward away from the lungs. Centrioles, referred to as basal bodies, are the originating source of cilia.
Smoker's cough results from damage to the external structure of lung cells by tobacco smoke What part of the cell would you predict is damaged?
Smoker's cough results from damage of the cells that line the trachea which have cilia. The cilia are damaged so that the mucus cannot be moved and therefore be swallowed. Coughing helps to remove the mucus. Also smoke irritates the cells of the trachea and produce the cough
What occurs when the cilia that line your trachea and bronchi?

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.
Where are cells with celia located in the human body?
in trachea,in falopian tube
An organ which stores disease - fighting white blood cells?

Hairlike structures that line the nasal cavities and the trachea?
capiries
Are epithelial cells of the trachea similar in size and structure to those lining the?
