Question: The body has numerous amounts of cells. Cells are the smallest living subunit of an organism. Cells are made up by even smaller organelles. For example the cilia of the trachea is psuedostratified squamous epithelium which means it is flat, it has many layers like a stack of pancakes and has cilia on it. The cilia function to sweep debris and pathogens into the highly acidic hydrochloric acid of the stomach where dust, debris and pathogens are dissolved.
