Researchers have developed an artificial cilia that monitors mucus in human airways to better detect infection, airway ...

Cilia are small hairs which beat to push the mucus back up the trachea so it can be swallowed and destroyed in the stomach. Clean air then enters the two bronchi, one bronchus going to each lung.
