Cilia are microscopic hairs on the cells that line the airways.Identify their role in the first line of defence.To kill bacteria by breaking down their cell wallsTo produce chemicals that can kill pathogensTo push mucus up and out of the airwaysTo aid the flow of urine out of the bladder and urethraI'm not sure
