Respiratory Tract Cilia
- Molecular classification
- Organelle, Cellular Structure
01
Overview
Respiratory tract cilia are microscopic, hair-like projections on airway epithelial cells that facilitate mucociliary clearance. Their coordinated beating propels mucus and trapped particles out of the airways, providing a primary defense against respiratory infections.
