Some cells that are found in the upper and lower respiratory tract have tiny hairs called cilia on them. They are found in the lungs, respiratory tract and middle ear. These cilia have a rhythmic waving or beating motion. They work, in this case, to keep the airways clear of mucus and dirt, allowing us to breathe easily and without irritation.

What structures trap foreign particles and bacteria in the nose and trachea?
dust
What is the trachea lined with to sweep away particles and dust?
The trachea is lined with ciliated columnar epithelium, which has hundreds of tiny hairs called cilia.
What is the role the cilia the respiratory tract?
It is used to filter out dust and pollen when breathing in, and also is used to heat the air we breathe in through our nose.
What cells line the trachea?
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.
Why does the lining of the trachea contain mucus-secreting cells and cells with cilia?
some cells in this lining secrete a sticky liquid called mucus, which traps particles of dirt or bacteria that are breathed in. Other cells are covered with timy hair-like structures called cilia. It sweeps the mucus and trapped particles out toward the mouth.
What cell moves mucus and dust particles out of the trachea?
shijuhew
What structures trap foreign particles and bacteria in the nose and trachea?
dust
What is the function of cell lining the trachea?
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.

What is the trachea lined with to sweep away particles and dust?
The trachea is lined with ciliated columnar epithelium, which has hundreds of tiny hairs called cilia.
What secretes mucus onto the surface of the epithelium to capture dust particles in the trachea?
The goblet cells have this function.
Explain how electrostatic dust preciptators remove smoke particles from chimneys?
remove it.
How is the trachea adapted to its function?
yooo
What is the function of mucociliary transport?
It helps to remove inspired dust particles.
How do ions remove dust pollen another foreign particles from the air?
The cause is the electrostatic attraction between ions and these particles.
What is an air filter?
A device that is made to remove tiny particles of dust from the incoming air.
Dust particles exist in what phase?
Dust particles are solids.
