True. The larynx and nose both help humidify, filter, and warm air that enters the lungs. The nasal cavity and its hairs help filter out large particles and debris, while the moist mucous membranes within the nose help to humidify the air. Similarly, the larynx helps to warm the air as it passes through on its way to the lungs. These processes help to protect the delicate tissues of the lungs and prevent irritation or damage.
