What else can I help you with?
What membranes line the nasal passage?
The nasal passage is lined by a mucous membrane called the respiratory epithelium, which contains specialized cells that help trap particles and filter the air. This membrane also produces mucus to moisten and protect the nasal passages.
Which body system would NOT be lined with a mucous membrane?
The skeletal system would not be lined with a mucous membrane. Mucous membranes are found in the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems to secrete mucus that helps protect and lubricate these cavities.
Which organs are lined with all mucous membrane?
The respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, and the urinary system (including the bladder) are lined with mucous membranes. These membranes help protect the organs from pathogens and maintain necessary moisture levels for their functions.
Is the mouth lined with a serous membrane?
Yes, the mouth is lined with a type of serous membrane called oral mucosa, which serves to protect and lubricate the oral cavity.
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.
Respiratory passages are lined with?
Little hairs called cilia. Get on my level

The skeletal system would not be lined with a mucous membrane. Mucous membranes are found in the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems to secrete mucus that helps protect and lubricate these cavities.
A respiratory membrane should be?
A respiratory membrane should be healthy.
What tissue forms supporting rings of respiratory passages?
Ciliated and pseudostratified columnar epithelial cells plus goblet cells for the secretion of mucin.
Which organs are lined with all mucous membrane?
The respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, and the urinary system (including the bladder) are lined with mucous membranes. These membranes help protect the organs from pathogens and maintain necessary moisture levels for their functions.
The urinary tract is lined with?
Mucous membrane
What is the thickness of the respiratory membrane?
The average thickness of respiratory membrane is 0.2 Mm
Why do you cough when your sick?
To clear out your respiratory passages
What happens During an asthma attack a person's respiratory passages become?
During an asthma attack, a person's respiratory passages become narrowed and inflamed
What is the dorsal cavity lined with?
a mucus membrane
Why are goblet cells more numerous in the upper respiratory passages than the lower?
Goblet cells are more numerous in the upper respiratory passages because they help trap and remove particles and pathogens entering the body through the air we breathe. The upper respiratory passages are lined with more goblet cells to provide a protective barrier and aid in the removal of foreign particles.
