Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Removal of dust particle from trachea
Explanation:
- Ciliary movement is characterized by the coordinated, wave-like motions of cilia, which are hair-like structures on the surface of certain cells.
- In the respiratory tract, ciliary movement helps to remove dust and other particles from the trachea by moving mucus up towards the throat where it can be swallowed or expelled. This is an important mechanism for keeping the airways clear.
