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.
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
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
What type of epithelium are found in the nasopharynx?
psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells and goblet cells

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.
What is the function of ciliated epithelium in the lungs?
To assist in removing dust particles and other unwanted foreign bodies that have entered the air passages.
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
What is the function of simple ciliated epithelium?
Ciliated Epithelium is a modification of the Columnar epetheliun. In this columnar cells have fine, hair like cilia on their free surface. It is found in trachea and bronchi to expel any dust or food or pollutant particle out of air passage. It is also present in the fallopian tubes to move the ovum or zygote.
