The respiratory tract filters air of irritants primarily through the nasal passages, where nasal hairs (cilia) and mucus trap dust, pollen, and other particles. Additionally, the trachea and bronchi contain ciliated epithelial cells and mucus-producing goblet cells that further capture and expel foreign materials through coughing or mucociliary clearance. These mechanisms help ensure that cleaner air reaches the lungs for gas exchange.
