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.
What else can I help you with?
Is a celiated epithelial cell a part of an animal or plant?
Ciliated epithelial cells are usually found in animals. They are involved in movement and transportation of mucus or other substances along surfaces in organs such as the respiratory tract and reproductive system. Plants do not possess ciliated epithelial cells.
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.
What is The name of the short hairlike structure found on the surface of cells?
what are the small like hair structures the surface some epithelial cells?
Which kind of cell is also called an epithelial cell-?
They are called cilia and are used to clean the air in your windpipe by brushing away dirt particles.
What is squamous epithelial cells in urine?
Squamous cells in a urinalysis test only indicate contamination from the genital tract. Check out this page for more information:http://www.irvingcrowley.com/cls/urin.htmIt's very helpful, check it out!

What is the function of ciliated epithelial cell?
Ciliated epithelial cells line the respiratory tract and help to move mucus and foreign particles out of the airways by beating their cilia in a coordinated manner. This action helps to protect the lungs from infections and maintains clean airways for efficient breathing.
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.
Why do we have ciliated windpipe cells?
Ciliated cells in the windpipe help to trap and remove debris, mucus, and foreign particles from the respiratory tract. This cilia movement helps to protect the lungs and keep them clean by sweeping these particles upward to be expelled through coughing or swallowing.
What are the adaptations of the ciliated epithelial cell?
An epithelial cell has the same basic parts as almost every other human (or animal) cell. 1) A nucleus. This is the 'control centre' of the cell. It contains the genes, which store the information needed by the cell to carry out its activities. 2) Cytoplasm. This is the bulk of the cell, where most of the chemical reactions needed to keep the cell alive take place eg respiration. 3) Cell membrane. This controls which substances can enter or leave the cytoplasm. For a simple description see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/biology/cellprocesses/1cellfunctionsrev2.shtml
What does epithelial cells in urine mean?
Epithelial cells in urine generally means that the urine was not a clean mid-stream collection. Epithelial cells, are lining cells of the urethra and are constantly being turned over and sloughed. These cells are commonly called squamous epithelial cells. These cells can also indicate vaginal or perianal contamination. By voiding the first few mL of urine before collecting, there should be a very minimal amount of epithelial cells in the urine. There should only be concern when the epithelial cells found are determined to be renal epithelial cells. And are only concerning in high concentrations. These cells come from the renal tubules and can be a sign of renal disease and should be followed up by your physician.
What is the special cell that lines all the tubes in the respitoary system?
The special cell that lines all the tubes in the respiratory system is called the ciliated columnar epithelial cell. These cells have tiny hair-like structures called cilia that help to sweep mucus and debris out of the respiratory tract to keep it clean and free of particles.
What parts of respiratory system clean air?
The mucus produced by the epithelial cells serves to trap dust particles, and the cilia gradually push them back out.

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.

What is The name of the short hairlike structure found on the surface of cells?
what are the small like hair structures the surface some epithelial cells?
How are the lungs provided with a continuous supply of clean atmospheric air?
hairs in the nostrillstrap dust. epithelium which lines the inside of the trachea bronchi and bronchioles consists of ciliated cells. dust particles and bacteria become ytrapped in the sticky mucus film and the mucus is carried away from the lungs by the flicking movements of the cilia
What gases does Ammonia factories clean your cells with in the morning without Ammonia?
Ammonia factories do not clean your cells or do anything else for that matter.
