Cilia wave about in particular manner to perform some particular function. For example the cilia in your respiratory tract push the foreign particles outwards. Cilia push the egg towards the uterus.

The cilia of the nasal mucosa do?

Cilia helps to "wave up" the mucus away from the deeper parts of the respiratory system. Debris/pathogens can stick to the mucus and then cilia can move up the mucus.


What is a hairlike projection from cells that move with a wave-like pattern?

Cilia are hairlike projections from cells that move with a wave-like pattern. They are involved in a variety of functions, such as movement of fluid or particles along the cell's surface or sensory perception.

What are the short and thin numerous projection from a cell that wave in a back and forth motion?

Cilia are short, thin, hair-like projections that extend from the surface of a cell. They wave in a coordinated back-and-forth motion to move fluid or particles along the cell's surface. Cilia are found in various types of cells, including those lining the respiratory tract to help move mucus and particles out of the lungs.

How do you vorticella move?

Vortachella is a protist in the phylum ciliophora. It moves by beating its cilia in synchronization, creating a wave of water that propels it forward. It also uses the cilia to "beat" food into its oral groove and mouth pore. The movement of the cilia create a funnel like vaccum that sucks it food in to be digested. - Zonk!~


What are tiny hairs that trap dust and pollens?

Cilia are tiny hairs that line the respiratory tract and help trap dust and foreign particles to prevent them from entering the lungs. These hair-like structures wave in a coordinated manner to move mucus and trapped particles out of the respiratory system.


What are little hairs that wave to move particles?

Cilia are tiny hair-like structures found on certain cells that wave to move particles along a surface. They are important for processes such as clearing mucus from the respiratory tract and moving eggs along the fallopian tubes in the female reproductive system.
