Answer:
A sheet of cells (see EPITHELIUM) that carry cilia (see CILIUM) on the exposed surface. These cilia exhibit METACHRONAL RHYTHM and commonly move fluids about the bodies of animals, for example, in the respiratory passages of terrestrial vertebrates expelling dust or other foreign matter in microphagous animals.

Answer:
A region of epithelium consisting of columnar or cuboidal cells bearing hairlike appendages (see cilium) that are capable of beating rapidly. Ciliated epithelium performs the function of moving particles or fluid over the epithelial surface in such structures as the trachea, bronchial tubes, and nasal cavities.
