Goblet cells are the cells in both simple columnar and pseudostratified columnar epithelia that produce protective mucous coatings over mucous membranes. These cells secrete mucus, which helps to lubricate and protect the surface of the tissues from damage, dehydration, and invasion by pathogens.
No, simple epithelia are typically found in areas of minimal wear and tear as they provide limited protection. In areas of high abrasion, stratified epithelia are more common as they offer multiple layers of cells for durability and protection.
Pseudostratified epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue that appears to be stratified (layered) but is actually a single layer of cells. It is commonly found in the respiratory tract, where it is involved in moving mucus and debris out of the airways. Pseudostratified epithelium typically has cilia on its apical surface, giving it a brush-like appearance.
Stratified epithelia (of columnar, cuboidal or squamous type) can have the following specializations:KeratinizedIn this case, the most apical layers (exterior) of cells are dead and lose their nucleus and cytoplasm, instead contain a tough, resistant protein called keratin. This specialization makes the epithelium waterproof, so is found in the mammalian skin. The lining of the esophagus is an example of a non-keratinized or "moist" stratified epithelium.[citatioTransitional ornon-keratinizedTransitional epithelium, like pseudostratified epithelium, is almost a class of its own; it is found in tissues that stretch and it can appear to be stratified cuboidal when the tissue is not stretched or stratified squamous when the organ is distended and the tissue stretches. It is sometimes called the urothelium since it is almost exclusively found in the bladder, ureters and urethra.[citation needed]taken from wikipedia (Related Link)

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.

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium (ciliated form)

Pseudostratified epithelium is a normal part of the human body.
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Pseudostratified epithelial tissue appears to be stratified due to the varying positions of the cell nuclei, but all cells are actually attached to the basement membrane. This type of tissue typically contains cells with cilia and can be found lining the respiratory tract. Observing the nuclei at different levels within the tissue can help identify it as pseudostratified.
between the keratinized gingiva and non keratinized gingiva.
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in areas subject to high mechanical stress and is waterproof due to the presence of keratin, while non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in areas that require flexibility and moisture retention, such as the oral cavity and esophagus. Keratinized epithelium has multiple layers of cells, with only the superficial layers containing keratin, whereas non-keratinized epithelium lacks the layer of keratinized cells.
The parts of the body that are keratinized are ones needing extra strength for protection. These would be structures such as skin, hair, nails, and if you are a four-legged animal you might have horns that are keratinized.
