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.
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.
A ciliated simple columnar epithelium helps to move particles or mucus along the surface of the tissue. The cilia on the cells beat in a coordinated manner to create a directional flow. This type of epithelium is found in areas like the respiratory tract and the fallopian tubes.
Ciliated simple columnar epithelium is found in the lining of the fallopian tubes, bronchioles of the respiratory tract, and parts of the gastrointestinal tract such as the stomach and intestines. This type of epithelium helps in moving mucus and particles along the surface of these organs.
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.

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)
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.
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.

ciliated columnar epithelium
The ciliated columnar epithelium lines the trachea(windpipe) and bronchi(lungs). The squamous epithelium forms the delicate lining of cavities(nose and alveoli etc.)
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.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. This lines the nasal cavity as well as the trachea. The oral cavity, as well as the pharynx, is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, due to obstructions from food.
