Cells Goblet Epithelial Mucus Explain Ciliatead Trachea Bronchi

Front Explain how ciliatead epithelial cells and goblet cells of trachea and bronchi work together to protect the lungs.
Back Ciliated epithelial cells & goblet cells:
  • Goblet cells secrete mucus on the lining of trachea/bronchi to trap dust/microorganisms 
  • Cilia beat and move mucus along with everything trapped in it away from lungs
  • Most goes into throat to be swallowed and digested
