The Dustagrabba cells.
Kidding, cilia.
Goblet cells in the epithelium produce mucus that traps the dust and dirt that is taken into the windpipe through the mouth and nose. The long, finger-like cillia cells then sweep the mucus back up the windpipe to the throat where it can be swallowed and then destroyed in the stomach by the digestive juices and acids.
some cells in this lining secrete a sticky liquid called mucus, which traps particles of dirt or bacteria that are breathed in. Other cells are covered with timy hair-like structures called cilia. It sweeps the mucus and trapped particles out toward the mouth.
Ciliated cells have small hair-like structures called cilia that extend from their surface. These cilia beat in a coordinated manner to help move fluids and particles along the cell's surface or to propel the cell itself.
The trachea is lined with cilia, which are tiny hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to sweep away particles and dust trapped in mucus towards the throat where they can be expelled by coughing or swallowing.
The cilia are always moving, bacteria or particles of dust trapped in the mucus are moved away by cilia. The cilia waft the mucus containing bacteria and dust up to the back of the throat, so that it doesn't block up the trachea and thus keeps it clean.
Its called the cilia.
They are actually small hairs called Cilia. Not cells.
cylia cells
Epithelial cells I think.... or Cilia, no i think Cilia are hairs!
Its called the cilia.
Cells in the nose and throat that trap dust are primarily ciliated epithelial cells and goblet cells. Ciliated epithelial cells have hair-like structures (cilia) that move in a coordinated manner to push mucus, which traps dust and other particles, out of the airways. Goblet cells secrete mucus, providing a sticky surface that captures debris and pathogens. Together, these cells play a crucial role in protecting the respiratory system from inhaled irritants.

They don't the only way to keep dirt from going into your throat is to breathe through your nose where your nose hair and mucus provide traps for dirt. Yout throat cells have tiny hairs which trap and prevent dust and dirt from going into your body, you also have these cells in your nose too.
Mucus and dust are two things that are trapped and swallowed at the back of the throat by cilia cells.

small hairs that brush the dust caught in the throat away
Dust particles are trapped in mucus in the respiratory tract, such as the nose and throat, and in hair on our skin. Mucus acts as a sticky barrier that captures dust particles as we breathe, while hair on our skin can also trap dust before it reaches our respiratory system.
