The RS, or respiratory system, is kept moist primarily through the secretion of mucus by goblet cells and mucous glands lining the airways. This mucus traps dust, pathogens, and other particles, helping to maintain a moist environment that is essential for effective gas exchange. Additionally, the moisture in the air we breathe contributes to the hydration of the respiratory surfaces. Keeping the airways moist is crucial for maintaining healthy respiratory function and preventing irritation.
