Mucus is produced by the goblet cells, in the airways dust particles etc will stick to the mucus, cilia cells then use energy to sweep the mucus up back up through the trachea, where we can swallow it and dust particles and pathogens etc can be broken down by enzymes in the stomach, or we can expell it by sneezing or coughing.
Cilia wave about in particular manner to perform some particular function. For example the cilia in your respiratory tract push the foreign particles outwards. Cilia push the egg towards the uterus.
Cilia in a bacterial cell function to facilitate movement, allowing the cell to propel itself through its environment. They are composed of protein structures that extend from the cell surface and aid in locomotion.
Cilia clean air that has been inhaled, or inspired.
A cavity lined with cilia to sweep out debris is called a "ciliated cavity" or a "ciliated epithelium." The cilia help to move mucus and particles out of the cavity and protect it from debris.
Cilia and flagella help the cell to 'swim' in the body and move around. They're like tails or tentacles.
The tar and nicotine numb the cilia. When the cilia cannot function, impurities are not removed from the nasal passage. Smoke also harms the alveoli (tiny air sacs) so that the exchange of air in the lungs is impeded.
It serves as a passage of air to the lungs

air passage
The cilia are tiny hairs which act to trap dust or dirt particles in the air that people breathe. The cilia and the mucus helps to keep dust and dirt out of the lungs.
The air passage that leads from the larynx to the lungs and contains strong bands of cartilage is the trachea. Cilia are not air passages; they are tiny hairlike projections found in various areas of your body, such as the trachea. In the trachea, they sweep debris, particles, and liquids away from the airway so the debris, particles, and liquids do not enter the lungs.
They just function as air passage and carry the air in and out of the lungs during respiration
The nasal passages is a channel for airflow to get into the body. It's main function is to get air into the body.
Cilia are present all over the bronchial tree. Cilia propel the foreign particles out wards.
In mammals, the cilia in the airways (the bronchioles) move the mucus which traps the particles in the air (that you breath) up and out of the trachea and let it spill into the esophagus from where it is swallowed. i.e. its a cleaning function.
cilia that surrounds the paramecium serves as their mode of movementn.
the cilia draws water into the mantle cavity
