In addition to sneezing, our body removes irritating particles from the nose through the action of cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the nasal passages. These cilia move in coordinated waves to trap and propel mucus, which contains the trapped particles and pathogens, toward the throat where they can be swallowed or expelled. This mucociliary clearance helps keep the airways clear and free from irritants.
