Answer:

- Allows you to talk and to smell.

- Warms air to match your body temperature and moisturizes it to the humidity level your body needs.

- Delivers oxygen to the cells in your body.

- Removes waste gases, including carbon dioxide, from the body when you exhale.

- Protects your airways from harmful substances and irritants
