They filter micro particles to enter the nasal cavity and induce the sensory nerve to sneeze and dislodge the micro particles.Even in the trachea they induce to cough up the particles although they may not be able to filter it.

What is the trachea lined with to sweep away particles and dust?
The trachea is lined with ciliated columnar epithelium, which has hundreds of tiny hairs called cilia.
What is the tube held open by rings of cartilage lined with cilia and mucous membrane?
The trachea.
What are the cells in the nose and the throat that trap dust particles called?
The Dustagrabba cells. Kidding, cilia.
What is the role the cilia the respiratory tract?
It is used to filter out dust and pollen when breathing in, and also is used to heat the air we breathe in through our nose.
Is cilia an organ?
No. Cilia in humans are small hairs like the ones in the nose used to filter germs. Cilia in microbes is a hairlike structure used for movement.
Where are cilia located?
Cilia are found on the outside of the cell as projections for bacteria and virus.
What is the purpose of the mucous membrane and cilia in the trachea?
Mucous membranes and cilia in the trachea trap and eliminate particulate matter from inhaled air. The membranes also warm and moisten incoming air.
The cilia and mucus in the trachea sweep upward moving the mucus toward the nose where it is sneezed out true or false?
The answer is true.
True or false the cilia and mucus in the trachea sweep upward moving the mucus toward the nose where it is sneezed out?
True
How does the cilia in the trachea help keep the respiratory system clean?
The cilia in the trachea is same as the cilia in the nose. They both clean the air before entering our lungs. If there's no cilia, then the lungs would most likely have problems, if not dealt with quickly. Noticed how when you breathe through your mouth more often you cough more. This is because of the cilia cleaning the air and also forcing the dirty particles out of the respiratory system.
What is the trachea lined with to sweep away particles and dust?
The trachea is lined with ciliated columnar epithelium, which has hundreds of tiny hairs called cilia.
What protects the nose?
The nose is protected by cilia. Cilia are the tiny nose hairs that are found inside the nose. The cilia catch dirt and particles to prevent them from entering the nose.
What types of tissue can have cilia?
The parts of the body that have ciliated columnar epithelium include the nose, the trachea, and the uterine tube. The cilia in the nose and trachea help expel foreign particles that should not enter the lungs while the cilia in the uterine tube help move the egg and sperm to the Fallopian tube.
What is the tube held open by rings of cartilage lined with cilia and mucous membrane?
The trachea.
What might happen if you didn't have hair in your nose and cilia in your trachea?
The SPM (suspended particulate matter) will not be avoided and it will reach to the lungs to obstruct the process of respiration.
What is the purpose of ciliated hairy epithelium in the nose and trachea?
Beat the continually produced mucus into the stomach
What occurs when the cilia that line your trachea and bronchi?
