Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium

Trachea - Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

Pseudostratified epithelium is also sometimes referred to as respiratory epithelium, since ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelia is mainly found in the larger respiratory airways of the nasal cavity, trachea and bronchi.

Pseudostratified epithelia are single layered columnar shaped cells; however, they appear to look stratified because some cells do not reach the basement layer. They function to secret and propel mucus. The cilia on these cells aids in this process. They can be found in the respiratory tract.

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium: Description: Single layer of elongated cells Function: Protection, secretion, movement of mucus and substances Location: Linings of respiratory passages

Respiratory epithelium - Pseudostratified columnar epithelium with cilia and goblet cells resting on a thick basement membrane. Lamina Propria - dense irregular connective tissue that supports the epithelium. Sero-Mucous Glands - add moisture to air and aid in trapping contaminants. Tracheal Cartilage - partial cross-section of a single, "C"-shaped hyaline cartilage.
