Why are cilia in the trachea important?

These are tiny "fingers" which move mucous. The mucous is sticky and traps dust, pollen and other particles. Together the cilia move the mucous out of the lungs. If this didn't happen these things trapped in the mucous would cause damage to the lungs and a person would have breathing difficulties over time.

Is snot living?

No it is not a living thing it is produced by the body in various places as protection.In vertebrates, mucus (adjectival form: "mucous") is a slippery secretion produced by, and covering, mucous membranes. Mucous fluid is typically produced from mucous cells found in mucous glands. Mucous cells secrete products that are rich in glycoproteins and water. Mucous fluid may also originate from mixed glands, which contain both serous and mucous cells. It is a viscous colloid containing antiseptic enzymes (such as lysozyme), proteins such as lactoferrin,[1] glycoproteins known as mucins that are produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes and submucosal glands, immunoglobulins, and inorganic salts. This mucus serves to protect epithelial cells in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital, visual, and auditory systems in mammals; the epidermis in amphibians; and the gills in fish. A major function of this mucus is to protect against infectious agents such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. The average human body produces about a liter of mucus per day.The colloquial name for nasal mucus is snot.Snails, slugs, bony fish, hagfish and some other invertebrates also produce external mucus. In addition to serving a protective function against infectious agents, such mucus provides protection against toxins produced by predators, can facilitate movement and may play a role in communication.

Does drinking milk cause the lungs to produce more phlegm?

yes.... yes it does Above answer is incorrect, milk only increases phlegm production if you are allergic to milk. For most people it just *thickens* the mucus that is already produced at normal rates. Drinking water is actually the best way to get your mucus out. People think that milk either produces mucous or thickens it - why they think this is unclear to me but studies show that this is not true. Several clinical studies have infected people with cold viruses and measured the total mucous production and thickness in response to subjects who drank milk (cow's milk) or were milk free. There was no difference in either mucous production or mucous thickness. However, the patients who believed that milk produced mucous reported that they thought they had more mucous or that is was thicker. The only way milk would increase mucous is if you were allergic, but this would likely produce gastric distress and rashes etc, not likely pulmonary mucous production in isolation.


What is produced by epithelial membranes as a first line of defense protection?

Mucous secretions are produced by epithelial membranes as a first line of defense protection. The mucous helps to trap pathogens and foreign particles, preventing them from entering the body and causing infections. Additionally, epithelial membranes also produce antimicrobial peptides that can help to kill or inhibit the growth of pathogens.
