The A answer is correct. The air we breathe is often polluted by tiny particles that could easily damage our pulmonary alveoli. The mucus, cilia and cough help to get rid of them.

1. How is it possible to choke on your food? Windpipe tissue breaks down. There are excess cilia in the trachea. The epiglottis gets overloaded. Mucus moves downward instead of upward.
