Yes, pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium lines the respiratory tract. This type of epithelium features cilia on its surface, which helps to trap and move mucus and debris out of the airways, aiding in respiratory health. The cells appear layered due to varying cell heights, but all cells rest on the basement membrane, making it a single-layered tissue. This structure is particularly important in the trachea and bronchi, where it helps maintain clear air passage.

Where in the body do you find ciliated pseudo stratified columnar tissue?

Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium is typically found lining the respiratory tract, including the trachea, bronchi, and parts of the nasal cavity. It helps in moving mucus and debris out of the respiratory system through coordinated ciliary action.


Has cilia to trap and remove mucus and dust particles?

The respiratory system has cilia lining the airways that sweep mucus and dust particles toward the throat to be swallowed or expelled. These cilia act as a filter to help protect the lungs from harmful substances.


What tissue lines most of the respiratory tract?

The tissue lining your inner nasal passages is made from ectoderm. However, the rest of the respiratory tract lining is made of endoderm.


All cells attached to the basement membrane but not all cells reach free surfaces is a description of what?

This describes the simple columnar epithelium tissue. In this tissue, all cells are attached to the basement membrane, but not all cells reach the free surface, as some may be buried below the apical surface of the tissue layer.


Pseudo stratified ciliated columnar epithelium would be found?

right next to the libreezy...where you'll then go to a book shelf..get a book...then look for the right answer..cause i have no freakin clue yo. or if ur a nerd find it from ur brain stupid !@#holes


What of the tissue types can expect to find goblet cells?

Goblet cells are typically found in the epithelial lining of the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and conjunctiva of the eye. These cells secrete mucus to protect and lubricate these tissues.

What is the function of ciliated epithelium?

Ciliated epithelium is found as the lining the respiratory tract from the nose to the trachea. This cilia secretes and propels mucous as well as sweeping dust and other irritants away from the lung.


Where is stereocilia located?

Stereocilia are located on the hair cells in the inner ear. They are found in the cochlea, a spiral-shaped structure that is responsible for detecting sound vibrations and converting them into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.


How many layers make up the pseudostratfied epithelium?

To be defined as stratified an epithelium must contain 2 or more layers of cells. There is not upper limit on how many layers it could contain but there must be at least two. The exact number of layers in any given epithelium is variable as statified epithelium is usually present in areas of wear and tear and so some layers are always being scraped of and other grown.


What is the crystal size when magma cools entirely underground?

Cooled slowly underground the pseudo crystals of columnar basalt, such as the Giants Causeway in Ireland may be in a metre size range.


Where would you find cell bodies of sensory neurons?

The epididymis is lined by a pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium that contains two types of cells - principle cells and basal cells. Principle cells are tall, columnar cells topped by many, long, thin microvilli called stereocilia.
