Q

Increases surface area of nasal cavity which makes airflow turbulent. Air inhaled and lining of nose come in contact which stimulates production of mucus by goblet cells from the pseudostratified columnar epithelium and that mucus traps the debris and the cilia of that epithelium sweeps the dropped debris/dirt by the mucus then goes into digestive system and gets eliminated
