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.
