Mucociliary Interaction in the Tracheobronchial Tree and Environmental Pollution
Schlesinger, Richard B.
BioScience, 23, 10, 567-573, Oct 73
Discusses the interaction of the various factors involved in the normal functioning of the mucociliary system of the human respiratory tract. The mucociliary system constitutes a major mammalian defense against dangerous inhaled particles by acting to collect, transport, and eventually eliminate such materials from the tracheobronchial tree.
