Ciliary Function and the Role of Cilia in Clearance

1 Mar 2006

Abstract excerpt

The lungs and the nasal passages are continually exposed to respiratory pathogens, toxins, and particulate matter, and have evolved a very effective defense system to protect themselves. Mucociliary clearance is an essential part of this defence and relies on appropriate interactions between the ciliated epithelium, the height of the periciliary fluid, and mucus. Mucus acts as a physical barrier, trapping inhaled...
