What Microscopic hairs in airway that keeps dirt out of the lungs?
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.
How does mucus protect respiratory?
It keeps respiratory tract as well as lungs away from friction and provide smoothness to the pleural cavity.

What is the role of cilia and mucus in a healthy non-smoker?
Cilia are tiny hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract and help sweep mucus, dirt, and pathogens out of the lungs. Mucus traps particles and microbes, preventing them from reaching the lungs. Together, cilia and mucus form the mucociliary escalator, which helps to keep the airways clear and clean in a healthy non-smoker.
Do dogs have snot?
Yes, dogs do have a mucus membrane lining their nasal passages that can produce mucus or "snot." This mucus helps trap dirt and bacteria, and keeps their nasal passages moist.
What 2 structural features of the tracheal lining function to prevent dirt and other particles from entering the lower respiratory tract?
Mucus and cilia. The dirt and other impurities that enter the respiratory tract are trapped by the mucus, in order not to enter the lungs and its structures. But the accumulation of too much mucus in the trachea would impede us from breathing, so the cilia sweep the mucus out of the trachea.
