Most breathing in healthy humans occurs through the nose. As air enters the nasal cavity, it is filtered of large debris by hairs lining the inside of the nose, and then further filtered through the nasal conchae, an area of folded, moist tissues; this also warms the air to near body temperature when it is cold.

Why do you often sneeze when you inhale a lot of dust laden air?
The dust particles irritate nerves in the nasal membranes. The irritation then triggers your sneeze reflex. It can also be due to allergy causing histamine reaction and rhinorrhea (runny nose), which can induce sneezing. Since dust often holds dust mites to which many are allergic and/or it may also contain particles of pollution or pollen in the dust which can stimulate allergic responses, including sneezing.
What are the jobs of the mucus in the nostrils?
The purpose of cilia and mucous membranes in your nose are to filter out and trap particulates, fibers and microorganisms (bacteria, etc.) in the air that is breathed in - then move that mucus containing the filterables to the back of the throat for swallowing or spitting out.
What warms moistens and filters air and dust particles?
The Nostrils or the Nose.
Warm and moistens airfilters dust particles?
The mucus
What moistens the air and filtiters dust particles?
The Nose/nasal passages.
What three ways does the respiratory system modify air before reaching the lungs?
The respiratory system warms the air to body temperature as it passes through the nasal cavity to prevent damage to the delicate lung tissues. The system humidifies the air by adding moisture to it through the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract, making it easier for oxygen to pass through the respiratory membrane in the lungs. It filters the air by trapping particles and pathogens in the mucus lining of the respiratory tract and then removing them through processes like coughing and swallowing.
3 ways the respiratory system modifies air?
Warms the air, clears the air of dirt and dust, and moistens the air.
Why does your eyes blink?
Blinking moistens the eye by spreading tears. It prevents the eyes from dust particles. Eye blink reflex is controlled by globus pallidus of cerebrum.

Do front load washing machines have dust filters?
Front load washing machines do have dust filters. These filters protect the washer from filling up with dust and debris.
What are the benefits of HEPA filter vacuum cleaners?
HEPA, or "high efficiency particulate air" filters work by trapping particles that other types of vacuum filters would let back out into the air. These filters are beneficial because they capture dust particles and debris that would slip through other types of filters, meaning that they clean better than others.
Which mask component contains material to filter chemical and biological agents and radioactive dust particles from the air?
the C2 Series canister The primary filters
