Most commonly this occurs in the trachea (cigarette smoke) and the result is that the mucus that lines the trachea is not carried up to the esophagus to be "drained off". The end result is that the inhaled bacteria remains in the airways where they can grow and cause infection.
answ2. However, your hearing also depends upon minute cilia, and when these become damaged (or the cells on which they grow) then you'll become permanently deaf at those frequencies. And a nasty secondary effect is that the damaged cells continue to give out a signal which the brain interprets as a sound - this is the 'ringing in the ears' or Tinnitus. Please take care of your hearing.

What structures are involved in cell movement?
Cilia are short, hairlike projections that usually occur in large numbers on the surface of certain cells. Flagellaare long, tail like projections. Unlike ciliates, flagellates usually have one flagellum.
Along hairlike structure used for movement?
In reference to cells, the answer is cilia.
What are two cell appendages that help the cells move?
flagella or cilia, but they can also move by cytoplasmic streaming
What three types of cells might have cilia or flagella?
protists. most likely consumers. they use flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia ( they are a mode of movement)
What would happen if the cilia stopped working?
You would end up with a constantly runny nose, and probably get sick more often. The cilia help to sweep out debris, bacteria, and other bad things that are inhaled into the nose. They also have some functions in smell, so you might not smell things as well.
What is an example of a disease in which cilia are damaged?
Smoking.
When a person breaths in cigarette smoke the goblet cells produce extra mucus and the cilia are damaged what will be the conseuquences of this?
cilia protect you lungs by stopping and bacteria and dust from reaching them. if the cilia is damaged then dust and bacteria will be able to get down you throat and cause a lot of damage. hope this helped :)
What happens if you have deformed genes?
The code in DNA will will cause you to have loss of limbs , or become brain damaged .
What happens to an interference motor when the timing belt snaps?
The valves get bent by the pistons and the head/pistons an be damaged. In expreme cases the connecting rods can become bent or break and the crankshaft bearings can become damaged.
If the goblet cells produce extra mucus and cilia that are damaged what will happen?
you die of ventilation problems... :(
What happens in ARVC?
With ARVC, heart muscle cells become disorganized and damaged and are replaced by fatty tissues
If your hammer anvil and stirrup become brittle or damaged what happens to the the ear?
conduction deafness may occur.
Which one of the following conditions is least likely to occur if the cilia in your respiratory system are damaged?
Multiple sclerosis
What happens to red blood cells as they age?
membranes "wear out" and the cells become damaged
What happens if the AV node is damaged or non functional?
There is no coordination between the atria and the ventricles, and ventricular filling can become compromised.
What is the job of the cilia?
The job of cilia is to line all along air passages such as, lungs and the nose ect. And is designed to stop dust and bacteria. Also cilia can be damaged or destroyed if are a heavy smoker.
What happens to the shape of cilia muscles when they relax?
When the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the choroid acts like a spring pulling on the lens via the zonule fibers causing the lens to become flat.
