Ciliary dynamics

Ciliary dynamics refers to the movements and functions of tiny hair-like structures called cilia that protrude from the surface of certain cells in our body. These cilia play crucial roles, such as moving mucus in our airways to trap and expel debris, facilitating the movement of eggs in the female reproductive system, and helping with fluid transport in various tissues. Their coordinated beating helps maintain homeostasis, supporting respiratory health and reproductive function. When ciliary dynamics are disrupted, it can lead to health issues, underscoring their importance in normal bodily functions.
