What is the function of cuboidal epithelium?
This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
What is function of cilia in gaseous exchange?
More often in the area of bronchi there is formation of viscous mucous going through which becomes at extreme level during the cold and cough as normally we experience during the winter times. But the main function of ciliated cell is to provide the more surface area to enzymes which are digesting or metabolizing the mucous continuously.This answer does not answer what the special function is lol
Structure and function of the airway?
The airway of the respiratory system is mainly to do with the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli duct. Trachea composes of Pseudostratified columnar, ciliated epithelium, Goblet cells, Sero-mucous glands and Cartilage rings. Its main function is to allow air to pass and reach the bronchioles and to trap dust by the presence of the cilia lining its epithelium membrane. The bronchi is composed of Pseudostratified columnar, ciliated epithelium (shorter), Goblet cells (fewer), Sero-mucous glands, Cartilage, Smooth muscle. main function is to bring air into the lungs because their walls are too thick to permit gass exchange. The bronchioles is made up of Simple columnar or cuboidal & ciliated epithelium,No goblet cells,Smooth muscle (relatively abundant), Clara cells is to permit the movement of gas int the alveoli duct in-order for gaseous exchange to take place.
What is the dominant function of stratified epithelium?
The dominant function of stratified epithelium is to protect underlying structures from mechanical wear and tear.
What is the function of the cubidal epithelium?

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.
What is the function of simple cuboidal epithelium?
This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
What is the function of cilia in tracheal epithelium?
Wow you fell for it
What is the function of simple columnar epithelium in gallbladder?
The function of the gallbladder is to store bile produced by the liver
What is the function of epithelial membrane?
Epithelial membrane in our body has many functions.Our skin for example, it is a simple squamous keratinized epithelium and its primary job is protection and secondary job is water-proofing.Some epithelial membrane in our serves tha function of respiratory gas exchange and filtration.
What is the function of an epithelium that is smooth on its free surface compared to an epithelium with a folded free surface made up of micro-villi?
Secretion is one of epithelium's major functions. However, if there are microvilli, they are used for absorption. Regular epithelium would be in our skin, and epithelium with microvilli would be in the digestive tract.
What is the function of diaphragm in the respiratory system?
Changing the volume of the chest cavity, and therefore inspiration and expiration.The function of the diaphragm is to inflate and deflate the lungs for gaseous exchange.
