Epithelial cells I think.... or Cilia, no i think Cilia are hairs!
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.
Cells in the nose and throat that trap dust are primarily ciliated epithelial cells and goblet cells. Ciliated epithelial cells have hair-like structures (cilia) that move in a coordinated manner to push mucus, which traps dust and other particles, out of the airways. Goblet cells secrete mucus, providing a sticky surface that captures debris and pathogens. Together, these cells play a crucial role in protecting the respiratory system from inhaled irritants.
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.

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.
Goblet cells in the epithelium produce mucus that traps the dust and dirt that is taken into the windpipe through the mouth and nose. The long, finger-like cillia cells then sweep the mucus back up the windpipe to the throat where it can be swallowed and then destroyed in the stomach by the digestive juices and acids.
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 !)
