It helps to remove inspired dust particles.
Normal function of the sinuses requires ventilation through the ostia (mouth-like opening) and is facilitated by a mucociliary transport process that maintains a constant flow of mucus out of the sinuses
The mucociliary transport system is a defense mechanism in the respiratory tract that helps to remove harmful particles, bacteria, and debris. It consists of mucus-producing cells that trap particles, and cilia that beat in a coordinated manner to move the mucus and its contents out of the respiratory tract. This system plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and integrity of the respiratory system.
Insoluble gases are typically not attracted to the mucociliary system because they do not dissolve easily in the mucus lining of the respiratory tract. Instead, insoluble gases are often exhaled without being trapped or cleared by the mucociliary system.
Genetic diseases like PCD and CF and acquired diseases like COPD negatively impact the mucociliary escalator.
The mucociliary escalator is the nonimmunological defense mechanism involving ciliary action and flow of mucus from bronchioles, through the bronchi and trachea to the larynx, by which particulate matter is removed from the respiratory tract. Called also mucociliary ladder. This movement up the respiratory tract removes dust, tiny bugs, pollen and other unwelcome visitors up and out. Sometimes you will sneeze it out and other times you will swallow it and the very acid juices in the stomach will take care of it.
The function of transport is to get people and goods from one place to another.
