There are microtubules below the cilia, which causes the cilia to move in a Mexican wave sort of movement. This sweeps the mucas up throught the trachea (mucas is produced by goblet cells) and up to the top of the trachea where it is swallowed so that the germs are killed by the hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

What does the ciliated epithelium cell produce?

Ciliated epithelial cells produce mucus, which helps to trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the respiratory tract. The cilia on the cell's surface then move the mucus along to be expelled or swallowed.


How do smoking make you get bronchitis?

Your cilia, which are hairs on ciliated epithelial cells is the hairs that remove your mucus. When you smoke, the cilia is killed off and you cough out mucus


How do epithelial cells adapt to remove dirt?

the goblet cells in the bronchioles produce a mucus which traps foreign substances in the airway such as pollen, pathogens and dust particles. The cilia of the ciliated cells will then waft the mucus and the trapped particles up to the larynx where it can be swallowed and the pathogens can be destroyed by the stomach acid. The cilia can waft due to the energy produced in the cells (in the form of ATP) by the mitochondria.


Why do cilitated epithelial cells occur in large groups that form a tissue?

Ciliated epithelial cells occur in large groups to collectively move a layer of mucus and particles along a surface, such as in the respiratory tract or fallopian tubes. This coordinated movement helps to remove debris and pathogens from the body more efficiently than individual ciliated cells could achieve.


The respiratory epithelium of the conducting airways consists of?

The respiratory epithelium of the conducting airways consists of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelial cells, goblet cells that secrete mucus, basal cells for repair and renewal, and brush cells for chemosensation. This epithelium helps to trap and remove particulate matter and pathogens from the airways while also assisting in warming and humidifying incoming air.


What are the substances being secrete by ciliated epithelium?

Ciliated epithelium secretes mucus, which helps to trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the respiratory tract or reproductive system.


What are the adaptations of a ciliated cell?

What does the ciliated epithelial cell do?

its cells that go up Claudia Sacks noseThey are cells that have cilia, which are hairs! The cell is designed to stop lung damage! You will find them in animal cells, there is one kind of plant cell that has it too.


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.


Where is ciliated epithelium found?

Ciliated epithelium is located in the lining of most body cavities. Some of the cavities that have ciliated epithelium are the lungs, trachea, and nose. Ciliated epithelium serves to keep dust and debris out of the lungs and control the flow of mucus.in your lungs . Its The tissue in your lungs!!In the respiratory tractThe ciliated epithelium is a type of tissue located inside the nose. Cilia or nose hairs are situated on top of the ciliated epithelium and triggers sneezing when dust particles are caught in the cilia.In what organ will you find ciliated epithelium? Primarily in the trachea.
