Ciliated epithelial cells

We have ciliated cells all throughout our body. In our trachea are ciliated cells which push up pathogens and dust caught. The the fallopian tubes are ciliated cells which push the egg.

Ciliated cells are very similar to crowd surfing.

Imagine if the person crowd surfing is the mucus or pathogen, and each person’s hands are the cilia. Watch as the all work together, moving in a single direction.
