    Hmm.. cilia line the respiratory tract and help trap foreign particles before they can enter into the alveoli where gas exchange will occur.. So I'd hazard a guess at cilia.

    Is this homework? You should try telling us what you think it is and why, to show that you tried before we help with an answer.

    We are happy to help, but you can't take us with you to finals. LOL

    Read this first: Expectations for the Homework Help board
    Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

    We won't do your homework questions for you.
    You were given the assignment for you to learn.

    If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.

    If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
    But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

    Thank you.
