Dust that bothers us, It causes allergies and some diseases. But besides causing these conditions, where is it stored in our bodies or excreted from our bodies?

Bride, answers to these questions Let’s give it.

Our bodies rely on “mucus” and “wipes” to combat the dust we breathe.

Nasal mucosa or in other words airway mucosa, from nostrils to trachea It covers the entire nasal cavity. When breathing occurs, air containing dust particles and gases flows into the nasal passages.

The largest particles are present at this stage mucus and nose hair is kept by. However, smaller particles travel to the pharynx, where the mucus traps them again.

If the smaller particles that escape continue to reach the trachea and bronchioles these particles get stuck in the mucus. When compression occurs, the dust that disturbs the human body is expelled as mucus or digested by gastric juices.

Some of the dust-filled air enters our body through the mouth.

But there’s nothing to worry about. Because the air from the mouth must also pass through the pharynx, which has a protective mucous membrane layer. Mucus also tries to fight these particles and important ingredients that help eliminate them occurs.

Additionally, mucus helps break down microbes. lysozymes (enzymes that break down bacteria) occurs. The mucosal epithelial layer in the airways is continuously eroded and replaced by cells from the underlying regenerative layer.

This prevents pathogens, i.e. dust, from entering the mucous membrane layers. This is done to ensure regular removal. In summary, the human body has several mechanisms to eliminate foreign substances and dust particles that enter the body through breathing.
