The epiglottis covers the trachea, so that whatever you are swallowing does not get inhaled.

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.

Describe the path of air as it inhaled into the human respiratory system?
Air is inhaled through the nose (nasopharynx) or mouth (oropharanx) and travels down the pharynx past the epiglotis and into the larynx. Then down into the Trachea where it meets the Carina and goes either right or left into the Broncus. Then down to the Bronchi and finally the alveoli where gas exchange takes place with the pulmonary capilaries.
