Hairlike structures that line the nasal cavities and the trachea?
Cilia are hairlike structures that line the nasal cavities and the trachea. They help to sweep mucus and particles out of the respiratory system to keep it clean and protect the lungs from infections.
What are the parts of respiratory system in aves?
a. Nose -Inspiration and expiration usually occurs through the nose. The nose has main two functions: The cilia and hairs which line the nasal cavities trap dust and other foreign particles and the rich supply of blood surrounding the cavities warms the air before it enters the lungs. b. Pharynx - allows for separation of food and air. The epiglottis closes the trachea when we eat and opens when we breathe. c. Larynx - this structure sits on top of the trachea. Air rushing across two ligaments causes sounds that we shape into speech. Also called the voice box. d. Trachea - Also called the windpipe e. Bronchi - the trachea branches into two forks each called a bronchi f. Bronchioles - the smaller and smaller passageways that come off the bronchi g. Alveoli - these are the small air sacs where actual gas exchange takes place.
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.
The trachea is lined with what?
The trachea is lined with a moist mucous-membrane layer made up of cells containing small hairs called cilia. The cilia project into the channel (lumen) of the trachea to trap particles. There are also cells and ducts in the mucous-membrane that secrete mucus droplets and water molecules.Cilia are whiplike, motile cellular extensions that occur, typically in large numbers, on exposed surfaces of certain cells. In the trachea, ciliated cells that line the respiratory tract propel mucus laden with dust particle and bacteria upward away from the lungs. Centrioles, referred to as basal bodies, are the originating source of cilia.
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 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.
Does respiratory mucosa line the trachea?
i dont even know what a mucosa line in the trachea is

What moves mucus in the trachea?
Mucus in the trachea is moved primarily by cilia, which are tiny hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract. These cilia beat in a coordinated, wave-like motion, helping to propel mucus upwards toward the throat. This process is part of the mucociliary escalator mechanism, which helps trap and clear inhaled particles and pathogens, keeping the airways clear and protecting the lungs. Additionally, coughing can help expel mucus when necessary.
Are the cells that line the bronchi covered with cilia to help move mucous or mucus out of the lungs?
They move 'mucus' and are cells that make up a 'mucous' membrane. Mucus is a noun, the thing that is secreted, and mucous is an adjective describing the quality of the thing that makes the mucus.
How does the paralysis of the cilia that line the airways affect ones health?
The job of the cilia is to move around mucas and other stuff. so without the cilia your mucas would be blocked.
