Cillia are small hairs that have the function of "sweeping" tubes in our bodies. The cillia in our lungs sweep dust and other impurities towards our throat. Usually at night and in our sleep we cough or clear our throat and swallow this mucous. Yuk, but keeps our lungs clean.
What else can I help you with?
In which body part would you find cells with hair like structures?
it is lungs
In body part would you find cells with hair like structures?
it is lungs
What are the macrophages found in the lungs called?
kuffer cells
Which body part would you find cells with hair like structures?
You would find cells with hair-like structures on the surface of the skin called cilia or on the lining of the respiratory tract. These structures play a role in moving substances along the surface of the cell or organ they are found in.
Which cells produce the pigment in hair?
The cells that produce the pigment in hair are called melanocytes.
What are lung cells and tissues called?
I don't know but lungs contain epithelial cells if that helps? :)
What are the hair like structures that are known as the street sweepers of the lungs called?
The hair-like structures found in the lungs are known as cilia, specifically motile cilia. There are other forms of cilia as well, for example non-motile cilia can be found in other organ systems, and as organelles on many cells in the body.
How do the different types of cells work to clean the lungs?
Ciliated cells in the respiratory tract have hair-like structures called cilia that sweep mucus and trapped particles up and out of the lungs. Goblet cells produce mucus to trap harmful particles, while alveolar macrophages engulf and digest these particles to eliminate them from the lungs. Together, these cells help to keep the lungs clean and free of pollutants.
The cells in a hair follicle that are responsible for forming hair are called?
Matrix
What type of dead cells make up a hair?
The dead cells that make up a hair are called keratinocytes.
What is The blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and carbon dioxide from the body tissues to the lungs called?
The blood cells responsible are red blood cells. White blood cells fight disease.
Hair is produced by cells called?
I believe it is produce by scalpition but I am not sure if that is the right answer if any one has a better answer put it down. Hair is composed of keratinized dead cells that have been pushed to the surface.
