Ciliated cells are cells that have hair-like projections called cilia attached to their plasma membrane. Cilia move back and forth in unison to propel mucus, dirt, bacteria and other particles or to help transport eggs. Ciliated cells are found lining various organs like the trachea, bronchi, fallopian tubes and eyes, where they help sweep and clear mucus, dirt, and transport eggs. Without ciliated cells, our airways would fill with dirt, we couldn't smell or see properly, and eggs would not be transported in females.

- 2. 2 SO WHATS A CILIATED CELL Those cells having cilia attached to its plasma membrane are called ciliated cell By ANINDA and RISHIT Saturday, December 07, 2013
- 3. WHAT DOES IT MEAN 3 The word "cilia" is derived from the Latin term for "eyelash," which is what they look like. Cilia work by moving back and forth in unison, allowing the cell to move through liquid or mucus environments or to propel objects, such as food, dust, or bacteria, around themselves.

- 4. 4 WHERE ARE THEY FOUND. They are found in oviduct, obviously not in males They are found in sensitive organs likes eyes and noseAnd By ANINDA and RISHIT Saturday, December 07, 2013
- 5. AND OF COURSE IN THE BRONCHIAL REGION AND TRACHEA OF PULMONARY SYSTEM 5 It protects the repository from pathogens This ciliated cells are columnar epithelial cells with specialized ciliated modifications By ANINDA and RISHIT Saturday, December 07, 2013
- 6. IT VERY DIVERSE Mortille Cilia:- Found in larger eukaryotes, such as mammals.. In humans, found in the lining of the trachea, where they sweep mucus and dirt out of the lungs. In female mammals, cilia in the Fallopian tubes moves the ovum from the ovary to the uterus By ANINDA and RISHIT 6 Immotile Cilia:- In humans, they are found on nearly every cell in the body. Found in eyes of humans which works as receptor. Present in nose. Saturday, December 07, 2013
- 7. WHAT IF CILIATED CELLS WERENT THERE Our trachea would be full of dirt that we take 7 in We cant smell properly In females, ovum wouldnt be transferred through fallopian tube, hence no offspring's We wouldnt see anything clearly By ANINDA and RISHIT Saturday, December 07, 2013
