The cilia of its mucosa beat upward toward the larynx?
primary bronchi
True or false the cilia and mucus in the trachea sweep upward moving the mucus toward the nose where it is sneezed out?
True
The cilia and mucus in the trachea sweep upward moving the mucus toward the nose where it is sneezed out true or false?
The answer is true.
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 the function of the cilia near the mouth?
To filter out particles that are possibly harmful if allowed to reach your lungs.
Are hairlike projections that sweep particles toward the throat?
Cilia
Small hairlike structures found in the trachea that propels mucus upward are known as what?
They are known as "cilia"
Cilia prevent the entrance of pathogens into the body by?
cilia prevents the entrance into the body by pathogen by constantly beat toward the outside of the body. If it is in your throat it will beat it toward your stomach so stomach acid can destroy the pathogen.
What direction do the cilia beat?
Away from the lung and toward the mouth and nasal cavity.
Debris that is trapped in mucus is moved away from the lungs toward the throat by?
cilia
Cigarette smoking paralizes small cell extensions that beat to create an upward current what are these extensions called?
cilia
How do epithelial cells adapt to remove dirt?
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.
