Mechanisms Controlling Airway Ciliary Activity,ithout mucociliary clearance, the airways would remain exposed to infectious agents or reactive substances — a situation that often results in chronic obstructive lung disease. The conditions that predispose mucociliary clearance to failure are not well established, but if therapies are to be design

These mucus—particulate complexes are propelled by incessantly beating cilia to the glottis over the luminal surface of epithelium lining the airways, and are cleared from the airways by swallowing. The principal component of mucus is the high molecular weight glycoconjugate (HMWG) mucin,
