Description
Lung lining. Color-enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through epithelial cells of the bronchus (lung airway). The cells are covered in cilia, tiny microscopic hairs. Rhythmic movements of the cilia serve to move mucus and trapped particles away from the gas-exchanging parts of the lung, and towards the throat, where they can be expelled. Magnification x2800 when printed at 10 centimeters wide.
