The mucus layer protects the respiratory tract by trapping bacteria and dust, not allowing them to enter the body. Mucus filters the air during inhalation and keeps the tissues from becoming too dry.
The nose is part of the respiratory system, responsible for breathing oxygen into the body. It also plays a role in the immune system by filtering out foreign particles and germs to prevent them from entering the body.
It traps it using a filtering system of hair and mucous.
The sticky thick fluid that traps dust, germs, and other particles in the air is called mucus or phlegm. It is produced by the respiratory system to help filter out and remove harmful particles before they reach the lungs.
The common cold can be caused by air induced issues. If the air is not purified, certain spores and germs can be passed through the vents. The respiratory system absorbs these germs and undesirables, which harms the immune system.
The respiratory system is primarily used during sneezing to expel irritants from the nose, while the muscular system helps generate the force needed for the sneeze reflex to occur.
Mucus traps and removes harmful particles, such as bacteria and viruses, from the respiratory system. It also helps to prevent these pathogens from entering the body by covering and lining the respiratory tract, acting as a physical barrier. Mucus contains antimicrobial substances that can help to neutralize pathogens before they cause an infection.
