What parts of respiratory system clean air?
The mucus produced by the epithelial cells serves to trap dust particles, and the cilia gradually push them back out.
Where does mucus pass?
Mucus passes through various parts of the body, primarily in the respiratory and digestive systems. In the respiratory tract, it traps dust, pathogens, and other particles, helping to keep the airways clear. In the digestive system, mucus lubricates the intestinal walls and protects the lining of the stomach. Mucus is also secreted in other areas, such as the reproductive and urinary tracts, serving protective and lubricating functions.

no, but the different parts of your respiratory system are such as your lungs being organs and part of your respiratory system.

Mucus traps foreign particles as it enters the conducting parts of the respiratory system. Cilia are microstructures lining the epithelial layer of those conducting parts that act to sweep up the mucus-bound foreign particles that otherwise would enter the lungs.
What are the parts that make up cardiovascular system and the respiratory system?
