Ciliated columnar epithelium, found in the respiratory tract, has cilia—hair-like projections on the cell surface—that can move and help clear mucus.
Ciliated columnar epithelium, unlike simple columnar epithelium, possesses cilia on its apical surface. These cilia facilitate the movement of substances, such as mucus, across the epithelial surface, aiding in processes like mucociliary clearance in the respiratory tract.
