The upper respiratory system cleans and warms the air even before going into the lungs. Tiny hairs in the upper tract remove particles which have become stuck in mucous made by the membranes. These same membranes warm and add moisture to the air before it reaches the alveoli.

How does conduction differ convection?
Conduction warms the atmosphere as fast-moving molecules come into contact with lower-energy molecules until all molecules are moving at about the same rate. As the atmosphere warms, molecules move apart. As the heated air flows, heat is transferred by convection from warm, low-pressure air to cooler, high-pressure air.
