  • Question
  • What is the purpose of the mucus in your nose?


  • Options
  • A. Protects lungs
  • B. Clear air passage
  • C. Protects nose
  • D. All of the above

  • Correct Answer
  • Protects lungs 

    Explanation

    When you breathe in air through your nose, it contains lots of tiny things, like dust, dirt, germs, and pollen.

    The air enters our body through the nose. However, before it enters the lungs, it must be heated and purified. Many dust particles that enter along with the air are removed in the nose by mucus and thus it protects lungs.
