Abstract
We have carried out a quantitative investigation on atypical cilia in the tracheal mucosa of apparently healthy pigs. The tracheal epitheliu m has compound cilia in a moderately higher number than has the porcin e oviductal epithelium. It is likely that formation of compound cilia in trachea is due both to an altered ciliogenesis and to environmental pollutants.
