12. Cilia
    Cilia are tiny hairs which cover the inside of many mucous linings. They are found throughout the body and, by their wave-like motion, they serve to filter and transport particulate material along the surface of the mucosal lining. Respiratory cilia are responsible for helping to filter dust and deb...
