Explanation

Nasal passages are the channels inside your nose that air flows through when you breathe. They start from the nostrils and lead to the back of the throat. These passages are lined with a soft, moist tissue called mucosa and tiny hairs called cilia, which help to filter out dust and germs from the air you breathe in. The nasal passages also warm and moisten the air before it reaches your lungs.
