What are the structures that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood?

What are the tiny hairs called that sweep outr dirt in the lungs?

The lungs contain no tiny hairs.Some of the cells lining the airways in the lungs have tiny hairlike structures called cilia. The function of these cilia is to push mucus generated by other cells in the lining up out of the lungs to the esophagus where it can either be swallowed or coughed up. The function of this mucus is to collect dust particles, dead cells, etc. so that they don't build up inside the lungs.Cilia are common on many types of cells (especially on bacteria and protozoa) and are usually used as a means of propulsion to move the cell around.
