pass on its way to the lungs to supply
the respiratory demands of our bodies
and at the entrance Of this gateway
are found a number Of fine hairs, that
act as a sieve to catch all the coarser
impurities, while the finely divided
impurities that succeed in slipping
past this picket line are arrested for
the most part by the moist mucous
membrane Of the nasal chambers. SO
that practically all air in its passage
through the nose is pretty thoroughly
filtered of impurities.
