Mucociliary clearance has a major role in pulmonary hygiene. MCC effectiveness relies on the correct properties of the airway surface liquid produced, both of the periciliary sol layer and the overlying mucus gel layer, and of the number and quality of the cilia present in the lining of the airways. [3] An important factor is the rate of mucin ...
The cells in the respiratory epithelium are of five main types: a) ciliated cells, b) goblet cells, c) brush cells, d) airway basal cells, and e) small granule cells (NDES) [6] Goblet cells become increasingly fewer further down the respiratory tree until they are absent in the terminal bronchioles; club cells take over their role to some extent here.

Adult and pediatric airway anatomy The respiratory tract can also be divided into a conducting zone and a respiratory zone , based on the distinction of transporting gases or exchanging them. The conducting zone includes structures outside of the lungs – the nose , pharynx , larynx , and trachea , and structures inside the lungs – the ...
In humans and other mammals, the anatomy of a typical respiratory system is the respiratory tract.The tract is divided into an upper and a lower respiratory tract.The upper tract includes the nose, nasal cavities, sinuses, pharynx and the part of the larynx above the vocal folds.
Mucociliary escalator, [4] surfactant, [3] defensins [3] Nasopharynx: Mucus, saliva, lysozyme [3] Eyes: Tears [3] Blood–brain barrier: endothelial cells (via passive diffusion/ osmosis & active selection). P-glycoprotein (mechanism by which active transportation is mediated)
Shedeur Sanders on being tight with Cam Ward: "It's cool that we're close because if we weren't the media try to pin us against each other." If he doesn't go #1 would he hold a grudge?
The New York Mets are bringing back first baseman Pete Alonso on a two-year, $54 million deal with an opt-out after 2025, according to multiple reports.
In the lower respiratory tract impaired mucociliary clearance due to conditions such as primary ciliary dyskinesia may result in mucus accumulation in the bronchi. [16] The dysregulation of mucus homeostasis is the fundamental characteristic of cystic fibrosis , an inherited disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which encodes a chloride ...
