Hi there!! Cilia are very small fine hairlike projection's/tissues, who's primary responsibilities in the airway is to make sure that it is clear. To be more specific... Cilia line the airways' trachea down. These cilia will do two things; They will trap germs and particulate matter (dust, dander, etc..), before then moving the trapped objects upward to the area where the airway meets the larynx, where you then swallow it... Additionally you can expel it eventually with a cough.

Hi! I would describe this component in my own words by saying component is flexibility by saying that the three components of flexibility are muscle elasticity and length, joint structure and nervous system. Yes, these components of fitness are very important as they help us do the things in our daily lives. I would say the nerve system is more important than the rest with the joint structure coming in second place. We need the nervous system because they they transfer nerve impulses between the parts of our body. I hope this is what you were looking for, Goodluck!
