Q

What are the two layers of the mucus blanket in the nose?

A

The outer layer is more viscid than the deeper, periciliary layer.

Insoluble particles, allergens, and bacteria caught on the outer layer are thus carried to the esophagus. Soluble material reaches the periciliary layer and is absorbed
