Detailed explanation-1: -Motile cilia Multiciliated cells are found lining the respiratory tract where they function in mucociliary clearance sweeping mucus containing debris away from the lungs. Each cell in the respiratory epithelium has around 200 motile cilia.
Detailed explanation-2: -The functional components are the protective mucous layer, the airway surface liquid layer, and the cilia on the surface of ciliated cells. The cilia are specialized organelles that beat in metachronal waves to propel pathogens and inhaled particles trapped in the mucous layer out of the airways.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cilia are found only in the eukaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells contain whip-like structures called flagella that help them to move.
