Trachea Function The function of the trachea is to be the main passageway for air to pass from the upper respiratory tract to the lungs. As air flows into the trachea during inhalation, it is warmed ...

Studies by Park et al. and Kim et al. have introduced novel approaches for fabricating trachea-mimetic constructs using advanced 3D bioprinting techniques. Park et al. developed an advanced ...

The trachea is also lined with tiny hair-like structures called cilia. These help push mucus that contains debris or pathogens out of the trachea. A person then either swallows or spits out the mucus.

A team of scientists created them using human cells from the trachea. Part of the reason why they used those cells is because they are covered with cilia, or tiny, hair-like projections.
