Mukotsiliaarseks
Mukotsiliaarseks is a term that refers to the mucociliary escalator, a critical defense mechanism found in the respiratory system. This system is composed of two main elements: mucus-producing goblet cells and ciliated epithelial cells. The goblet cells secrete a sticky layer of mucus that traps inhaled particles such as dust, pathogens like bacteria and viruses, and other foreign debris.
Immediately beneath this mucus layer are the ciliated epithelial cells. These cells possess numerous tiny, hair-like
This continuous upward movement of mucus is essential for maintaining the cleanliness and health of the respiratory
