cylia cells
The cells in the nose and throat that trap dust particles are called cilia. Cilia are hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract and help to sweep foreign particles, such as dust, towards the throat to be expelled from the body.
Its called the cilia.
They are actually small hairs called Cilia. Not cells.
Its called the cilia.
nose: airways are lined with cells that can produce mucus in which dust and microbes get trapped.
They don't the only way to keep dirt from going into your throat is to breathe through your nose where your nose hair and mucus provide traps for dirt. Yout throat cells have tiny hairs which trap and prevent dust and dirt from going into your body, you also have these cells in your nose too.
Throat cells are lined with tiny hair-like structures called cilia that constantly beat in a coordinated motion to sweep away dirt and other particles. Additionally, mucus produced by the cells traps and removes particles that may enter the throat. This helps prevent dirt from reaching the lungs.
Dust particles are trapped in mucus in the respiratory tract, such as the nose and throat, and in hair on our skin. Mucus acts as a sticky barrier that captures dust particles as we breathe, while hair on our skin can also trap dust before it reaches our respiratory system.
The epithelial cells in the windpipe, which are lined with cilia, wave in a coordinated manner to move mucus along with trapped particles like dust upward toward the throat. This upward beating motion is called mucociliary clearance and helps to remove foreign particles from the respiratory tract, preventing them from entering the lungs.
The hairs in the nose are there to stop dust particles being inhaled into the lungs. Dust combined with natural mucus - is what 'bogies' are formed from (sorry if you're eating !)
Nose hair helps filter out dust, pollen, and other particles from entering the nasal passages and lungs. It also helps to regulate moisture and temperature in the nose.
