How does the upper respiratory system keep dust and bacteria out of the lower respiratory system?
The upper respiratory system employs several mechanisms to filter out dust and bacteria before they reach the lower respiratory system. Cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the nasal passages and trachea, sweep mucus and trapped particles upward toward the throat, where they can be swallowed or expelled. Additionally, mucus traps dust, pathogens, and other debris, preventing them from entering the lungs. The rich blood supply in the upper respiratory system also helps warm and humidify the air, further protecting the delicate tissues of the lower respiratory system.
