**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Nasal Respiration**: Nasal respiration refers to the process of breathing through the nose. It involves inhaling and exhaling air through the nasal passages. 2. **Filtration of Air**: One of the primary advantages of nasal respiration is that it filters the air we breathe. The nose has hair-like structures called cilia and mucus that trap dust particles, allergens, and other foreign particles, preventing them from entering the lungs. 3. **Air Conditioning**: Nasal respiration helps in conditioning the air. The nasal passages warm and humidify the air before it reaches the lungs. This is important because it helps to protect the delicate tissues in the respiratory system. ...
