It helps with absorption and mobility
Ciliated epithelium lines our upper respiratory tact. It plays an important role in helping to carry dust and dirt particles, which we breathe in all the time, to the back of the throat. The particles, and any pathogens on them, are then swallowed, where the hydrochloric acid in the stomach destroys any bacteria. This is an effective means of reducing the risk of us catching a respiratory disease.
Ependymal cells are arranged in single-palisade arrays and line the ventricles of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord. They are usually ciliated, their cilia extending into the ventricular cavity.
Germinal epithelium refers to a layer of cells that gives rise to gametes (sperm and eggs) in the gonads. In males, it is found in the seminiferous tubules of the testes, where it is responsible for spermatogenesis. In females, it lines the ovarian follicles and is involved in oogenesis. This epithelium plays a crucial role in reproductive biology and the development of reproductive cells.
The connective tissue found beneath all types of epithelium is called the basement membrane. It provides structural support to the overlying epithelial cells and helps in anchoring them to the underlying tissues. The basement membrane also plays a role in filtration and diffusion of substances between the epithelial cells and the underlying tissues.
Rete ridges in the oral epithelium increase the surface area for attachment to the underlying connective tissue, providing structural support for the mucosa. They also contain blood vessels and nerves that supply nutrients and sensation to the epithelial cells. Additionally, rete ridges play a role in facilitating the exchange of cells between the epithelium and connective tissue to aid in regeneration and wound healing.

The ciliated epithelium in the lung is located on the inside of the bronchioles. The cilia and the moist surface lining captures dirt or toxins that are inhaled. This is coughed up with some of the moist secretions as mucus in order to cleanse the lungs and keep them clear for gas exchange.
mucus protects the epithelium for the acidity in the stomach.
Ependymal cells are ciliated neuroglia that line the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. They play a crucial role in helping to circulate cerebrospinal fluid throughout the central nervous system.

Electron microscope images provide high-resolution views of cellular structures, such as cilia on ciliated epithelial cells, allowing scientists to observe their ultrastructural details and organization. This helps in understanding how cilia function and interact with their microenvironment, leading to insights into their role in processes like mucus clearance in the respiratory tract or fluid movement in the reproductive system.

Cilium (Latin for eyelash; the plural is cilia) Cilia are slender protuberances (projections) that project from the much larger cell body - eyelashes, for example, project from the eyelid. Therefore, the eyelash is the protuberance, and the eyelid would be the larger cell body in this instance. Cilia can also be found within the air vessels of the lungs. It is the cilia in the lungs which help to move the pleghm/mucus from the lung and into the trachea/windpipe, in order to be coughed up and expelled from the mouth. Into a handkerchief, hopefully!?

Well, hello there, friend! A ciliated cell is designed to help move things along, like dust or mucus, in our bodies. It's like a little cleaning crew, always working to keep things nice and tidy. Just like how we all have a role to play in this big, beautiful world, ciliated cells have their important job too.
Ependymal cells are cells that line the central cavities of the brain and spinal cord. They are ciliated and act as a semi-permeable lining between the cavities and normal tissue. The cavities are filled with a cerebro-spinal fluid which cushions the CNS and, due to the beating cilia of the ependymal cells, is constantly circulating.
They influence the characteristics of the molecule.
