I WONDER - What Job Does The Nose Do In The Respiratory System?

The video explains the nose's crucial role in the respiratory system. It highlights how cilia in the nose trap pollen, dust, and germs to prevent them from reaching the lungs. Additionally, the nose contains structures called turbinates that further filter germs. The nose also regulates the temperature of the air we breathe, ensuring it is optimal for the lungs.
