Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the nostrils, air gets warmed and moistened. Tiny hairs in the nose called cilia (SIL-ee-uh) filter out dust and other particles. The nasal cavity and mouth join at the area in the back of the throat called the pharynx (FAR-inks).

Detailed explanation-2: -Turbinates (conchae): There are three pairs of turbinates located along the sides of both nasal cavities. These folds inside your nose help warm and moisten air after you breathe it in and help with nasal drainage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Air is inhaled through the mouth or the nose. The sequence of air passage during inhalation is as follows: Nostrils→pharynx→larynx→trachea→alveoli.
