Mucus in the airways helps trap foreign particles to protect the respiratory system. Cilia are tiny beating hairs that sweep the mucus up to your throat where it is either coughed out or swallowed by the acids in your stomach. The cilia are like a janitor who always sweeps up the messes. If these are destroyed, as can occur with long term smoking, the whole thing comes to a halt and you then have to try to cough and pull up this now thickened mess.
it is a nickname for fat people!
What else can I help you with?
How are cilia cells different to a simple cell?
Cilia cells are specialized cells that have hair-like structures called cilia that aid in movement or sensing stimuli. Simple cells do not have cilia and are basic cells that perform general functions within the body. Cilia cells are more complex and have specific functions related to moving substances or detecting signals.
Is cilia found in both plant and animal cells?
Most plant cells have neither flagellum nor cilium but in some cases there are exceptions. For example, the cycads have some cells with cilia and flagella. In particular, sperm cells have a flagella.
Is cilia in fungi?
No, cilia are typically not present in fungi. Fungi generally have flagella for movement, which are structurally different from cilia. Cilia are more commonly found in certain protists and animal cells.
Is cilia found in animal and plant cells?
yes, but rarely in plant cells. cycada are the most notable exception
What are cilia cells?
Cilia cells are specialized cells found in the respiratory tract, fallopian tubes, and other parts of the body. They have hair-like structures called cilia that help move mucus, debris, and fluid through the body. Cilia play a crucial role in maintaining the health of these tissues and protecting against infections.
Is cilia found in plant cells?
No. Cilia are not found in plant cells.
Do plant cells have cilia?
No they do not, they don't have flagellum either.

What cell has cilia in it?
Many bacterias and some eukaryotic cells have cilia.
Is a cilia a microorganism?
No. Cilia are hairlike structures found on some cells.
Do all cells have a cilia?
no
What cells in the nose and throat trap dust particles?
Epithelial cells I think.... or Cilia, no i think Cilia are hairs!
Do cilia cell grow?
Cilia themselves do not grow in the traditional sense, as they are specialized hair-like structures that extend from the surface of certain cells. However, the cells that produce cilia can grow and divide, leading to the formation of new cilia as the cells differentiate and develop. Cilia can also be repaired or replaced if they are damaged, but the process is dependent on the health and function of the underlying cells.
Do animal and plant cells both have cilia?
no only animal and protists have cilia
Does human sperm contain cilia?
No, human sperm cells do not contain cilia. Cilia are small, hair-like structures that can be found on certain cells. However, sperm cells have a flagellum, which is a long tail-like structure that allows them to swim.
Is cilia in fungi?
No, cilia are typically not present in fungi. Fungi generally have flagella for movement, which are structurally different from cilia. Cilia are more commonly found in certain protists and animal cells.
