Cilia are in the message pathways. They are important to homeostasis because they send signals to other parts of the body telling them to heat up or cool down.

It's more likely that the answer is homeostasis because, homeostasis helps the body maintain it's daily function (ex; body temperature). The answer is homeostasis


What are cilia and what they do?

cilia are very small hair like organelles in the respiratory tract that are use to move excess mucus and foreign substances away from the lungs and toward the nasal and oral cavities to be expelled by the body.


Homeostasis in snakes?

Snakes maintain homeostasis by regulating their body temperature, either by basking in the sun to warm up or seeking shade to cool down. They also regulate their metabolism through digestion, respiration, and circulation to maintain a stable internal environment. Additionally, snakes control their water balance by adjusting their drinking habits and conserving water through efficient kidney function.


Is flagella longer and more numerous than cilia?

Flagella are longer and fewer in number compared to cilia. Flagella typically range from 10-200 micrometers in length and there are usually one to a few present per cell. Cilia, on the other hand, are shorter (usually 2-10 micrometers) and there are typically numerous cilia per cell.


What are cilia and flagella made up of?

Cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules, specifically arranged in a 9+2 pattern. They consist of nine doublets of microtubules surrounding a central pair of microtubules. The movement of cilia and flagella is generated by the sliding of these microtubules past each other.

Why does the cilia wave about?

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.


What is the function of cilia in your tracheobronchial tree?

Cilia are present all over the bronchial tree. Cilia push the foreign particles out wards. By this way cilia protect your respiratory system from damage by particles. Cilia also push the bacteria out from the respiratory tract.


What is the function of cilia in a bacteria cell?

Cilia in a bacterial cell function to facilitate movement, allowing the cell to propel itself through its environment. They are composed of protein structures that extend from the cell surface and aid in locomotion.

What is the function of the cilia in the immune system?

When look at the function of cilia in the immune system, you mainly refer to the cilia present in the respiratory system. Cilia, along with mucus, are part of the innate immunity your body has. Mucus in respiratory tubes traps most microbes and dust that get past the nasal filter (nasal hair). Cilia on cells lining the tubes sweep mucus upward and out of the system. !!
