Cells Goblet Ciliated Protect Lungs Produce Mucus Traps

Goblet and ciliated cells protect the lungs by producing mucus which traps bacteria, and ciliated cells sweep this away from the trachea and down into the stomach.

Las células caliciformes y ciliadas protegen los pulmones produciendo moco que atrapa bacterias, y las células ciliadas barren este moco fuera de la tráquea hacia el estómago.
