Nose hairs, or vibrissae, play a crucial role in filtering the air we breathe. They trap dust, pollen, and other particulate matter, preventing these contaminants from reaching the lungs. The hairs work in conjunction with mucus in the nasal passages, which further captures and moistens inhaled air, enhancing the filtration process. Together, they help protect the respiratory system from irritants and pathogens.
