Preguntas frecuentes

What is the tracheal submucosal gland ciliated duct?
A tracheal submucosal gland ciliated duct is the terminal ciliated duct of a mucous gland in the tracheal submucosa that opens directly into the tracheal lumen.
Where is the tracheal submucosal gland ciliated duct located?
Located in the submucosa of the trachea, these ducts penetrate the tracheal mucosa at regular intervals along the entire length of the trachea.
What is the function of the tracheal submucosal gland ciliated duct?
The duct delivers mucus secretions from tracheal submucosal glands into the tracheal lumen where ciliated epithelium moves the mucus toward the larynx.
What is the tracheal submucosal gland ciliated duct connected to?
The ciliated duct connects the collecting ducts of tracheal glands to the ciliated respiratory epithelium of the tracheal lumen.
