The cilia need energy provided by the mitochondrion to move. The other cells do not move do not have the need for the same amount of energy.

What Type of epithelial in lungs?
The ciliated columnar epithelium lines the trachea(windpipe) and bronchi(lungs). The squamous epithelium forms the delicate lining of cavities(nose and alveoli etc.)
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
What lines much of the respiratory tract?
Pseudostratified Columnar (ciliated) epithelium lines much of the respiratory tract, but other epithelial tissues are found in the tract as well (for example, simple squamous epithelium in the alveoli of the lungs).
When does cilia do not resume proper function after smoking?
Your cilia do not get affected by the occasional smoking. Cilia are affected in chronic smokers. But then there is probably nothing like occasional smoking. You are either a chronic smoker or nonsmoker. Smoking two cigarettes can make you addicted to smoking. Your cilia get damaged by chronic smoking. The pseudstratified ciliated epithelium is eventually replaced by stratified squamous epithelim in case of the chronic smokers. Such type of change is called as metaplasia. If you stop the smoking the original epithelium is resumed eventually.
What are facts about Ciliated epithelium?
It is Epithelium composed of cells bearing cilia on their free surfaces.
Respiratory passages are lined with?
Little hairs called cilia. Get on my level
Has cilia to trap and remove mucus and dust particles?
Pseudo stratified columnar with goblet cellsPseudostratified columnar epithelium
What is the function of cilia in tracheal epithelium?
Wow you fell for it
Why do you have cilia in your esophagus?
because it has to trap all dust particles that didn't get trapped when going through nose and mouth...... by epidemic skate shop
What is Lined with ciliated mucous membranes?
Little hairs called Cilia, which help filter dust from the air as it passes into the lungs.
What is the specialization at apical surfaces of epithelium?
microvilli stereocilia cilia
