In what ways does the nose help by purifying air?

The nasal cavity is occupied to a large extent by nasal conchae.These are turbinate bones which project into the nasal cavity with the purpose of supporting the olfactory mucus membranes and increasing the respiratory surface area, creating turbulence within the passing air.There are three turbinates (inferior, middle and superior) on each side of the nose, and their job is to clean and humidify the air as it moves through your nose into your lungs.The mucous is sticky and will trap particles like dust, bacteria and pollen. This is going to move down the throat where it will end up in the stomach where nothing can live. You also will blow it out of your nose and throw it way.

Can any parts of the respiratory system be removed without causing death?

No, removing essential parts of the respiratory system such as the lungs or the trachea would likely result in death as these organs are vital for breathing and oxygen exchange. Non-vital structures like the tonsils or parts of the nasal cavity can be removed without causing death.

Does the uvula do anything other than help with the gag reflex?

The uvula functions in sealing off the nasal pharynx from the oral pharynx during the act of deglutition. In plain English: as you swallow, the soft palate, whose posteriormost extension is the uvula, elevates and the uvula presses against the 'back of your throat.' As that happens, the opening between the nasal cavity and the back of the throat is blocked, and the food or liquid cannot enter the nasal cavity. A simple experiment: 1. close your mouth and breath through your nose; air enters your lungs. 2. Open your mouth and breath through mouth; air enters your lungs. So, now you know that there must be communication between your nasal and oral cavities. 3. Collect saliva in your mouth; close your lips, swallow, and at the same time try to breath through your nose. Air will go into your lungs ONLY after you finished swallowing. Now, imagine that you are drinking milk (or anything else) and as you're swallowing the white stuff, someone cracks a joke and you start to laugh. As you do so, milk may back up into your nasal cavity and come out your nostrils. Disgusting, but funny to a certain extent. Do you "need" a uvula? No, people can live very happily without uvulas and learn to control the swallowing process so that food (or fluid) will not enter their nasal cavity.
