Having cilia; covered with or possessing hair-like structures that can move back and forth.
From 'ciliate' (Latin ciliatus) plus the suffix '-ed' indicating possession of the feature being described.
Your respiratory system is lined with ciliated cells that act like a biological conveyor belt, constantly sweeping mucus and trapped particles upward and out of your lungs—this is why coughing is your body's backup system when cilia can't keep up!
