respiratory mucosa

Respiratory mucosa is the lining inside the respiratory passages, such as the nose, throat, and airways, that helps protect and maintain your respiratory system. It consists of specialized cells that produce mucus, a sticky fluid that traps dust, germs, and other particles, preventing them from reaching your lungs. The mucosa also has tiny hair-like structures called cilia that move the mucus and trapped particles out of the airways, aiding in cleaning and defense. This lining plays a crucial role in keeping your respiratory system healthy and functioning properly.
