Pseudostratified ciliated columnar are the thread like hairs that line the esophagus. They catch dirt or debris that might enter into your throat when you breathe. That is the first thing to become affected (paralyzed), when someone smokes cigarettes.

What does overeating do to the respiratory system?
It is my understanding that by engorging the stomach with food, it puts pressure under the lungs causing difficulty in taking a full deep breath. It can also cause the opening of the stomach to become open causing the acid from the stomach to regurgitate up into the esophagus. This acid can be regurgitated up into the esophagus causing heartburn. That acid can sometimes get into the lungs. Prolonged acid reflux can lead to esophageal cancer as the lining of the esophagus isn't able to handle the acid that the stomach produces. The stomach lining and esophagus lining are quiet different.
What tissue does ciliated cell form?
A ciliated epithelial cell is can be found in the esophagus, trachea, or even lining the inner wall of the intestine
