Ciliated Cells
A ciliated cell is a specialized cell covered in hair-like structures called cilia. These cilia are involved in moving fluids or materials along the cell surface. Ciliated cells are found in various parts of the body, such as the respiratory tract and the reproductive system.
Well, hello there, friend! A ciliated cell is designed to help move things along, like dust or mucus, in our bodies. It's like a little cleaning crew, always working to keep things nice and tidy. Just like how we all have a role to play in this big, beautiful world, ciliated cells have their important job too.
A ciliated epithelial cell is modified with hair-like structures called cilia on its surface that help in moving substances along the cell surface. These cilia beat in a coordinated manner to generate a unidirectional flow of substances like mucus in the respiratory tract or egg in the fallopian tubes. The presence of cilia increases the surface area of the cell and enhances its function in moving materials efficiently.
A ciliated cell has a number of special features which helps in the normal functioning. They have protruding hairs which are able to trap anything that may be harmful to the cell in the mucus.
An epithelial cell has the same basic parts as almost every other human (or animal) cell. 1) A nucleus. This is the 'control centre' of the cell. It contains the genes, which store the information needed by the cell to carry out its activities. 2) Cytoplasm. This is the bulk of the cell, where most of the chemical reactions needed to keep the cell alive take place eg respiration. 3) Cell membrane. This controls which substances can enter or leave the cytoplasm. For a simple description see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/biology/cellprocesses/1cellfunctionsrev2.shtml

Cilia are hair that act like little fans or propellers. They move fluid and create a current. The egg goes with the flow

Ciliated cells help to clear dust and dirt from your airways with tiny hairs.
A ciliated cell dies when it finishes doing it job which is either to sweep up mucus to the throat or to brush up dust and destroy it.
because they clear out the lungs

They sweep dust and microbes
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.
The cell membrane of a ciliated epithelial cell is located on the outer surface of the cell. This membrane separates the cell's internal environment from the external environment and plays a crucial role in controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Ciliated epithelial cells produce mucus, which helps to trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the respiratory tract. The cilia on the cell's surface then move the mucus along to be expelled or swallowed.
Ciliated columnar is a type of cell. Ciliated means that it has tiny hairlike projections on top of the cells that are usually used to capture unwanted pathogens and bacteria before they can do any damage to the body. Columnar is simply the shape of the cell. The cells are tall and skinny, shaped almost like a pillar from a building.
