The respiratory system
What entraps microorganisms entering the respiratory passages?
Mucus produced by specialized cells in the respiratory system can trap microorganisms entering the respiratory passages. Cilia, small hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract, then help to move the trapped microorganisms out of the airways through a process called mucociliary clearance. Additionally, immune cells within the respiratory system can also work to engulf and destroy any trapped microorganisms.
What tissue forms the supporting rings of respiratory passages?
Hyaline Cartilage
What membranes line the nasal passage?
