It's job is to make the cells have a greater surface area, and to help move secretions or objects around so that they do not block or get in the way of anything else.
There are ciliated epithelium in your nasal passages to help move mucus out, so that you can still breath. Also they are found in a woman's uterine wall, to help move the egg to where it is safe and supported.
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.
No, cells of the esophageal epithelium are not ciliated. The esophagus is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, which lacks cilia. Cilia are more commonly found in respiratory epithelium to help move mucus and particles.
The fallopian tubes are lined by a ciliated epithelium in females. The cilia help move the egg from the ovary to the uterus for potential fertilization.
Ciliated epithelium secretes mucus, which helps to trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the respiratory tract or reproductive system.
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.
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.
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.
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 epithelium
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.
