Cilia

Tiny hair-like projections found on the surface of cells, especially those lining internal tubes, that move in a coordinated way.

Ciliated epithelium

A type of tissue made up of cells with cilia, found lining many internal organs.

Ciliary movement

The synchronized movement of cilia, which helps to move substances in a specific direction.

Ciliary movement in the trachea

The trachea, or windpipe, is lined with ciliated epithelium that helps remove dust and foreign particles from inhaled air.
