Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ciliary and flagellar motion results from the coordinated sliding of outer doublet microtubules relative to their neighbours driven by ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bronchus in the lungs are lined with hair-like projections called cilia that move microbes and debris up and out of the airways. Scattered throughout the cilia are goblet cells that secrete mucus which helps protect the lining of the bronchus and trap microorganisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epithelial cells help to protect or enclose organs; some produce mucus or other secretions. Certain types of epithelial cells have tiny hairs called cilia, which help remove foreign substances.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cilia are short, hairlike structures that can move a cell or move molecules away from a cell. Most water in a cell is in the cytoplasm, a fluid that contains salts and other molecules. The cytoskeleton is made of a network of threadlike proteins that are joined to form a framework inside a cell.
