Epithelial tissue or more simply epithelium covers and lines body surface and forms glands. Cells of epithelium are very set very close to each other, neighbouring cells are held together by cell junctions or desmosomes. The desmosomes of macula adherens made of tonofibrils. The epithelial tissue rests on a thin extracellular basement membrane, secreated partly by epithelial cells and partly by underlying connective tissue. Epithelial cells may have microvilli, sterocilia, kinocilia or flagella. They are of two types: connective and lining epithelium and gladular epithelium

The respiratory epithelium of the conducting airways consists of?
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
What type of epithelium are found in the nasopharynx?
psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells and goblet cells
What is the function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree?
The function of the ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree is secretion and absorption. These cells control the mucus produced.
Where is ciliated columnar epithelium found?
Ciliated epithelium is located in the lining of most body cavities. Some of the cavities that have ciliated epithelium are the lungs, trachea, and nose. Ciliated epithelium serves to keep dust and debris out of the lungs and control the flow of mucus.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium have projections called?
Cilia
The respiratory epithelium of the conducting airways consists of?
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
What type of epithelium lines most of the respiratory tract?
The cells that line the epithelium in the tracheae are ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium cells.They are of three types -ciliated cellsgoblet cellsbasal cells

The finger like projections which line the small intestine are called?
ciliated columnar epithelium
Simple columnar epithelium of the digestive tract is characterized by?
Simple columnar epithelium of the digestive tract can present as either ciliated or non-ciliated. The ciliated moves mucus in the respiratory system, the non-ciliated lines the gastrointestinal tract.
Is ciliated epithelium present in the urinary bladder?
No.
Where in the body do you find cells with hair-like structures?
The respiratory tract is lined with ciliated epithelium.
What tissue propels sheets of mucus?
a ciliated epithelium
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium have projections called?
Cilia
What covers the inner surface of the thoracic wall?
ciliated epithelium
