Cilia
The nasopharynx is lined with respiratory epithelium, which consists of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells. These cells have cilia that help trap and move mucus and particles along the respiratory tract for removal.
The respiratory epithelium of the conducting airways consists of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelial cells, goblet cells that secrete mucus, basal cells for repair and renewal, and brush cells for chemosensation. This epithelium helps to trap and remove particulate matter and pathogens from the airways while also assisting in warming and humidifying incoming air.
The respiratory system is largely lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium.
lines the ducts of some glands and portions of the male urethra
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.
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)
The nasopharynx is lined with respiratory epithelium, which consists of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells. These cells have cilia that help trap and move mucus and particles along the respiratory tract for removal.

The ciliated columnar epithelium lines the trachea(windpipe) and bronchi(lungs). The squamous epithelium forms the delicate lining of cavities(nose and alveoli etc.)
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium can be found in the respiratory tract, specifically in the lining of the trachea and bronchi.
