The trachea is also lined with tiny hair-like structures called cilia. These help push mucus that contains debris or pathogens out of the trachea. A person then either swallows or spits out the mucus.

A system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human airways to better detect infection, airway obstruction, or the severity of diseases like Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Chronic ...

As an illustration, the trachea is approximately 50 mm. in circumference, and this is the width of the stream bed in which the mucous blanket flows. Each of the main bronchi is 35 to 40 mm. in ...

The cilia of the lower respiratory tract are in constant motion, ... The method used by me was modified from that described by Corssen and Allen. 22 From the trachea and bronchi of human beings ...

(CNN) - Future treatment of serious health conditions may soon involve tiny living robots that are created from human cells. They’re called anthrobots. A team of scientists created them using human ...

A team of scientists created them using human cells from the trachea. Part of the reason why they used those cells is because they are covered with cilia, or tiny, hair-like projections.
