cilia
These tiny hairs are called "cilia", and their purpose is simple: they line the respiratory tract in order to trap dust and dirt that we inhale. They do this by moving from side to side and catching the particles, aided somewhat by mucus. The dirt particles are then carried to the back of our throat, where we swallow them, leaving the stomach acid to kill the bacteria and other microbes. Smoking anaesthetises these cilia, so they are no longer mobile, making them inefficient in trapping germs, leaving the smoker prone to infection.
Some cells that are found in the upper and lower respiratory tract have tiny hairs called cilia on them. They are found in the lungs, respiratory tract and middle ear. These cilia have a rhythmic waving or beating motion. They work, in this case, to keep the airways clear of mucus and dirt, allowing us to breathe easily and without irritation.
You would find cells with hair-like structures on the surface of the skin called cilia or on the lining of the respiratory tract. These structures play a role in moving substances along the surface of the cell or organ they are found in.
Ear hairs help to trap dust, dirt, and other particles from entering the ear canal. They also help to protect the delicate structures inside the ear, such as the eardrum, from damage by foreign objects. Additionally, ear hairs can help in detecting sound vibrations and aiding in spatial awareness.
Some people think nose hairs block the large air particles while the mucus captures tinier air particles including tiny microbes like bacteria and viruses. But judging by the ability of microbes to infect people through the air, the theory seems weak. Still there is the possibility that the theory could be right.
They occur on the surface of specialised cells and are called "cilia".
Hairs in the Trachea that keep out dirt from the lungs.
well basically the ciliated cells line all the air passages in your lungs.they have tiny hairs which filter the air as it blows through the hairs also sweep mucus (snot) with trapped dust and bacteria up to the back of the throat where it is swallowed.
Little hairs called Cilia, which help filter dust from the air as it passes into the lungs.
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.
inside your lungs there are some cells called cillia they are little hairs that sway side to side hat remove dust and dirt from your lungs. when you smoke you are killing those cells thus all the dirt stays in your lungs making it hard for you to breath
There are tiny hairs called Cilia which lines the airway. Possibly this is what you are thinking about. These tiny hairs trap dirt particles in the air and move them out of the lungs.
The little hairs in your nose are called cilia. Cilia are used to help keep dirt and dust particles from going into your lungs. when the cilia have collected enough dirt, it mixes with mucus and ends up as mucus excertement (boogers). Make sure to blow you nose often and to not sniff dirt!
The microscopic hairs in the airway that help keep dirt and other particles out of the lungs are called cilia. These tiny, hair-like structures line the respiratory tract and work in tandem with mucus to trap and move foreign particles and pathogens upward toward the throat, where they can be swallowed or expelled. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining respiratory health by preventing the accumulation of harmful substances in the lungs.
Cilia are the tiny hairs that sweep dust and dirt out of the respiratory system.

The cilia are tiny hairs which act to trap dust or dirt particles in the air that people breathe. The cilia and the mucus helps to keep dust and dirt out of the lungs.
