I've just started this in Biology, the cilia are tiny hairs that cover the ciliated epithelial cells which are found in airways. I think they trap mucus but I'm not sure if they trap anything else lol that was what i was looking for but then i came accross this question :L
hope that helps though! x
The cells in the nose and throat that trap dust particles are called cilia. Cilia are hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract and help to sweep foreign particles, such as dust, towards the throat to be expelled from the body.
Tiny hairs that trap pathogens is the best definition of cilia. Cilia are hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract and help trap and remove pathogens and particles from the airways to protect the body from infection.
Cilia in the nostrils help to trap and filter out particles like dust, pollen, and bacteria from entering the respiratory system. They also help to sweep mucus and trapped particles towards the throat where they can be expelled or swallowed.
Goblet cells in the trachea produce mucus that helps to trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the airways. Cilia are hair-like structures that line the trachea and sweep the trapped particles and mucus up and out of the respiratory system toward the throat to be swallowed or expelled through coughing. Together, goblet cells and cilia help to protect the lungs from harmful substances.
The two main things in the nose that help to clean the air we breathe are tiny hairs called cilia and mucus. The cilia trap dust, bacteria, and other particles, while the mucus helps to moisten the air and trap any foreign particles before they can reach the lungs.
Epithelial cells I think.... or Cilia, no i think Cilia are hairs!
I believe you are referring to Cilia, which are hairlike projections that trap dirt in the body.
Cilia are tiny hairs that line the respiratory tract and help trap dust and foreign particles to prevent them from entering the lungs. These hair-like structures wave in a coordinated manner to move mucus and trapped particles out of the respiratory system.
Cilia.

Its called the cilia.
Its called the cilia.
It has cilia (hairs) that trap dust and woft it away from your lungs.

The cilia are tiny hairs which act to trap dust or dirt particles in the air that people breathe. The cilia and the mucus helps to keep dust and dirt out of the lungs.
Tiny hairs that trap pathogens is the best definition of cilia. Cilia are hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract and help trap and remove pathogens and particles from the airways to protect the body from infection.
They are actually small hairs called Cilia. Not cells.
