How is mucus removed?

Mucus is removed from the body primarily through the action of cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract, which beat in a coordinated manner to move mucus upward toward the throat. Once in the throat, mucus can be swallowed or expelled by coughing. Additionally, nasal mucus can be cleared by blowing the nose. This process helps to trap and eliminate pathogens, allergens, and debris from the airways.

Contaminated mucus is removed from the lower respiratory passageways such as the trachea by what?

Contaminated mucus in the lower respiratory passageways, such as the trachea, is primarily removed by ciliated epithelial cells. These cells have tiny hair-like structures called cilia that move in a coordinated, wave-like motion to push mucus and trapped particles upward toward the throat. This process is part of the mucociliary escalator, which helps keep the airways clear of debris and pathogens. Additionally, coughing can aid in expelling mucus from the respiratory system.

How do buggers in your nose form?

The formation is the result of two things. First is mucus which our bodies make to prevent our nasal passeges from drying out and to humidify the air which we inhale. A second component is dust, lint, and other contaminents which is removed from the air we breath by contact with the sticky mucus. As the water in the mucus evaporates it leaves the contaminents and thickened mucus which is commonly called a booger.
