Title: Barrier function of airway tract epithelium
  • Document date: 2013_10_1
  • ID: 332eygtr_3
    Snippet: The primary function of airway epithelium is to function as a physical barrier between the external environment and internal milieu. The three essential components that contribute to the barrier function of airway epithelium are: mucociliary escalators which trap and removes inhaled foreign particles from the airways, 32 intercellular tight and adherens junctions 33 that regulate epithelial paracellular permeability, and secreted antimicrobial pr.....

The three essential components that contribute to the barrier function of airway epithelium are: mucociliary escalators which trap and removes inhaled foreign particles from the airways, 32 intercellular tight and adherens junctions 33 that regulate epithelial paracellular permeability, and secreted antimicrobial products that kill inhaled pathogens. 34
