Those tiny hairs (cilia) trap most microbes in the air you breathe. The cilia along the respiratory epithelium beat in coordinated waves to cause a layer of mucus to ascend proximally. The "muco-ciliary escalator" is a protective mechanism that removes particulates from the small airways.
As air is inhaled, the cilia move back and forth, pushing any foreign matter either toward the nostrils, where it is blown out, or toward the back of the throat.
