Ciliated epithelium cells in amphibians are typically found in areas of the respiratory tract and parts of the reproductive system. They help in moving mucus and particles, aiding in breathing and reproduction.

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.
Ciliated cells are special because they have hair-like structures called cilia that help in movement. These cilia can move in a coordinated manner, allowing the cells to move substances along surfaces or propel themselves through fluids. This unique ability to move makes ciliated cells essential for functions such as clearing mucus from the respiratory tract or moving eggs along the fallopian tubes.
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.
In a ciliated cell, the cytoplasm serves several crucial functions, including supporting the cell's structure and facilitating the movement of organelles and molecules within the cell. It contains various organelles that perform essential metabolic processes, such as energy production and protein synthesis. Additionally, the cytoplasm enables the coordination of ciliary movement, which is vital for functions like locomotion and the clearing of debris from surfaces. Overall, the cytoplasm is essential for maintaining cellular integrity and enabling the cell to perform its specialized functions effectively.
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.
