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.
The ciliated epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree helps to remove mucus and foreign particles from the respiratory tract by moving them upwards towards the throat to be either swallowed or expelled. This movement of the cilia helps to protect the lungs from infections and irritants.
The ciliated epithelium is adapted for movement and protection. The cilia on the cells move in a coordinated manner to help move mucus, debris, and microorganisms out of the respiratory tract. Additionally, the mucus secreted by this epithelium helps to trap pathogens and prevent them from entering the body.
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.
Ciliated epithelium is found in the respiratory tract, fallopian tubes, and uterus. Its primary function is to help move mucus, debris, and fluids along the surface of the epithelium by waving cilia in a coordinated motion, assisting in the removal of foreign particles and maintaining the health of the tissues.

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 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.

a ciliated epithelium
Ciliated epithelium secretes mucus, which helps to trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the respiratory tract or reproductive system.
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.
