mucus membranes
A. cleaning chemicals. B. airborne pathogens.
Airborne pathogens are infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi that can be transmitted through the air. They can be spread through respiratory droplets when infected individuals cough, sneeze, or talk, allowing the pathogens to be inhaled by others in close proximity. Examples include tuberculosis, influenza, and COVID-19.
Trap and remove bacteria and pathogens in the throat refers to the action of the mucous membranes and cilia in the respiratory tract that help to capture and expel harmful microorganisms. The mucous membranes produce mucus to trap the pathogens, and the cilia (small hair-like structures) help move the trapped particles out of the respiratory system through coughing or swallowing. This process is a key part of the body's defense mechanism against respiratory infections.
Waterborne diseases are caused by microorganisms which are directly transmitted when contaminated fresh water is consumed. Airborne diseases are those diseases which are caused by pathogenic microbial agents which get discharged through coughing, sneezing, laughing or through close personal contact.
Mucus membranes, specifically in the respiratory and digestive tracts, secrete a liquid called mucus that helps trap and remove pathogens. Additionally, the lacrimal glands in the eyes secrete tears, which contain enzymes and antibodies that can help neutralize and flush away pathogens that may have entered the eyes.

Yes, you can, provided it is someone else's sneeze or cough. Airborne pathogens travel very far from the person who openly sneezes, and coughs can also release airborne pathogens that others can pick up.

No TB is not genetically transmitted. TB is transmitted through airborne pathogens that are breathed in to the lungs.

Tiny hairs that trap pathogens is the best definition of cilia. Cilia are hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract and help trap and remove pathogens and particles from the airways to protect the body from infection.
Airborne pathogens typically spread through respiratory droplets released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or breathes. These droplets can travel short distances, generally up to six feet, but smaller aerosolized particles can linger in the air for extended periods and travel further. Enclosed spaces with poor ventilation increase the risk of transmission, as pathogens can accumulate in the air. Additionally, high population density and close contact among individuals facilitate the rapid spread of these pathogens.
