What is the protective function of the cilia and goblet cells of the trachea?
Mucus secreted by goblet cells trap the foreign particles. Cilia push the particles out wards. This protects your lungs from damage by the foreign particles.
What is a tube containing cilia called?
A tube containing cilia is called a trachea. The trachea is part of the respiratory system and it helps to move mucus and debris away from the lungs by the beating action of the cilia.
What occurs when the cilia that line your trachea and bronchi?

Smoker's cough results from damage to the external structure of lung cells by tobacco smoke What part of the cell would you predict is damaged?
Smoker's cough results from damage of the cells that line the trachea which have cilia. The cilia are damaged so that the mucus cannot be moved and therefore be swallowed. Coughing helps to remove the mucus. Also smoke irritates the cells of the trachea and produce the cough
What is the trachea lined with to sweep away particles and dust?
The trachea is lined with cilia, which are tiny hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to sweep away particles and dust trapped in mucus towards the throat where they can be expelled by coughing or swallowing.
What is the purpose of the mucous membrane and cilia in the trachea?
Mucous membranes and cilia in the trachea trap and eliminate particulate matter from inhaled air. The membranes also warm and moisten incoming air.
What is the function of globlet cells and cilia in trachea?
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.
What is the tube held open by rings of cartilage lined with cilia and mucous membrane?
The tube is known as the trachea, or windpipe. It serves as a passageway for air to travel in and out of the lungs. The rings of cartilage help keep the trachea open, while the cilia and mucous membrane function to trap and remove any foreign particles or debris from the air before it reaches the lungs.
Where are the cilia in the respiratory system located?
In the lining of the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles.
What is the Tiny hair like structures that trap bacteria in the trachea?
Cilia.
Why are the cilia and mucus in the nasal cavity and trachea important?
The combination of cilia and mucous helps to filter out solid particles from the air.
Why do people have hairs on their trachea?
The hairs on the trachea are called Cilia and are for helping lifting up the mucus up the throat. Smoking can kill these hairs and they will have to swallow the mucus.=D
