Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The nasal cavity hairs (nasal vibrissae) act as a physical barrier. They trap large particles like dust, pollen, and debris in the inhaled air. Detecting air pressure is not their role. Detecting odors is mainly by olfactory receptors. Providing a mucus barrier is more about the nasal mucosa rather than the hairs.

Answer:

filter the air
