Ciliary movement occurs in most of our internal tubular organs which are lined by ciliated epithelium. The coordinated movements of cilia in the trachea help us in removing dust particles and some of the foreign substances inhaled along with the atmospheric air. Passage of ova through the female reproductive tract is also facilitated by the ciliary movement.
Assertion (A): Cilia in the respiratory tract help maintain airway cleanliness. Reason (R): Coordinated ciliary movements trap and absorb dust particles into the epithelial cells.
