MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Respiratory epithelium. The goblet cells secrete mucus, which forms a blanket over the tops of the ciliated cells. The regular, coordinated beating of the cilia sweeps the mucus up and out of the airways, carrying any debris that is stuck to it.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ciliated cells are located across the apical surface and facilitate the movement of mucus across the airway tract.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overview. 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.
