Why we have tiny hairs inside our nose?

These tiny hairs, called cilia, work like a filter to catch dust, germs, and other tiny things in the air. They stop bad stuff from reaching your lungs and making you sick.

⭐ Bonus fact: Your nose hairs also help warm and moisten the air you breathe before it goes into your body.
