The function of cilia is to push the mucus with any bacteria or dust particles stuck to it up towards the throat, where it can be swallowed.

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.
