In single celled organisms, the beating action of cilia cause the organism to move.
In large animals like people, the beating action of cilia in the respiratory system force mucous and contaminates upward into the mouth and away from the lungs.

Function of oviducts?
it's a site for fertilization. Ovum is carried along oviduct by beating action of cilia and contraction of muscular wall of oviduct.
The egg is propelled down the oviduct by?
Cilia lining moves the human egg through the oviduct. They beat in such a manner that it drives the egg toward the uterus.
Microorganisms removed from incoming air by sticky mucus are most likely to be destroyed by?
action of cilia
Is the Stentor a Cilia or Flagella?
Cilia
Whats the hair in a ciliated known as?
Just as some cells can move like an amoeba and get where they want to, with the help of pseudopodia, some others can use tiny hair like parts, called cilia. The word 'cilia' is the plural of cilium, which really means - short curved hairs that grow from the edges of the eyelids - that is eyelashes. Cilia are microscopic hairlike processes extending from the free surface of a cell. They are capable of beating in an organized, rhythmic fashion.
Which protists movie by beating there cilia?
Paramecium.
The tracheal epithelium is ciliated and has goblet cells what is the function of each of these modifications?
The function of the goblet cells are to secrete mucus which will trap any dust particles and bacteria that may have been inhaled. The cilia work together with the goblet cells by beating, pushing the mucus liquid up, out of the trachea with the dust particles ad bacteria that need to be removed from the body. This beating action by the cilia is known as the 'sweeping action'.
Specialized cells with beating tufts of cilia that draw water through pores to the outside of the worm's body?
Flame cells are in planarians. They are specialized cells with beating tufts of cilia that draw water through pores to the outside of the worm's body.
Function of oviducts?
it's a site for fertilization. Ovum is carried along oviduct by beating action of cilia and contraction of muscular wall of oviduct.
When a person smokes cigarettes will the action of the cilia in the respiratory tract decrease?
Occasional smoking temporarily disrupts the sweeping action of tiny hairs called cilia. Long-term exposure to cigarette smoke causes the cilia.
What is the cilia of its mucosa beat upward toward the larynx?
The cilia of the primary bronchi mucosa functions by beating upward towards the larynx. As such, they conduct air into both lungs.
What structure sweeps mucus and pathogens from the nasal cavities and trachea to the pharynx?
Beating ciliated epithelial cells
What is an example of an action that is not voluntary?
your heart beating
In planaria specialized cells with beating tufts of cilia that draw water through pores to the outside of the worm's body?
flame cells
What effects does tar have on the cilia?
Cilia are microscopic hair-like extensions found in organisms. They are used to allow movement and tar basically prevents this. It 'clogs up' the space between the cilia and halts their rhythmic beating.
The egg is propelled down the oviduct by?
Cilia lining moves the human egg through the oviduct. They beat in such a manner that it drives the egg toward the uterus.
How do you vorticella move?
Vortachella is a protist in the phylum ciliophora. It moves by beating its cilia in synchronization, creating a wave of water that propels it forward. It also uses the cilia to "beat" food into its oral groove and mouth pore. The movement of the cilia create a funnel like vaccum that sucks it food in to be digested. - Zonk!~
