Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Ciliary beating can be effectively slowed or even stopped if the viscosity of the sol layer is in-creased by exposure to dry gas. Ciliary motion is also stopped following exposure to smoke, high concentrations of inhaled O2, and drugs like atropine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The stroking action of millions of cilia propels the surrounding mucus at a speed approximately 2 cm/min. This action is commonly referred to as the mucociliary escalator.
