They move 'mucus' and are cells that make up a 'mucous' membrane. Mucus is a noun, the thing that is secreted, and mucous is an adjective describing the quality of the thing that makes the mucus.

How does cigarette smoke effect the mucous layer in bronchioles?
Cigarette smoke irritates cells in the bronchi and this irritation triggers special cells to produce a layer of mucus designed to trap the foreign particles irritating the cells. This layer of mucus is then suppose to be swept away by the Cilia, though the tar found in cigarette smoke slows the action of the cilia. This tar accumulates in the mucus layer, because the cilia are not able to respond due to the presence of this tar. In conclusion, the mucus layer will gradually grow over time because the cilia will not be able to sweep away the accumulated foreign particles.
