ciliated epithelial tissue
ciliated epithelial tissue
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.
Simple ciliated columnar epithelium has cilia that help move substances across the cell surface, whereas non-ciliated columnar epithelium lacks cilia. Non-ciliated columnar epithelium is involved in secretion and absorption, whereas ciliated columnar epithelium is mainly found in areas where the movement of mucus or particles is important, such as the respiratory tract.
Ciliated cells help to clear dust and dirt from your airways with tiny hairs.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium lines most of the respiratory tract. This type of epithelium helps to trap foreign particles and move them out of the respiratory system with the help of cilia.

Ciliated cells form epithelial tissue. These specialized cells have hair-like structures called cilia on their surface that help move substances across the surface of tissues, such as in the respiratory tract to help clear mucus.
