Question

Difference between ciliated and glandular epithelium

Answer 1

Glandular Epithelium tissue: This tissue forms glands and its main function is the secretion of fluids into areas of the body.

Ciliated Epithelium tissue: this tissue has small hair-like structures that facilitate movement of secretions of various sorts throughout the body.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ciliated Epithelium -

• The cells bear cilia on their free surface.
• Present the inner surface of hollow organs like bronchioles and fallopian tube.
• They help to move particles or mucus in a specific direction over the epithelium.

Glandular Epithelium -

• They have main function of secretion.
• The two types of glandular epithelium include unicellular and multicellular.
• The unicellular glandular epithelium consists of isolated gladular cells. Ex : Alimentary canal.
• The multicellular glandular epithelium consists of cluster of cells. Ex : Salivary gland.
• Based on the mode of pouring the secretion, glandular epithelium cells are again of two types.
• The first type is said to be exocrine gland, which release secretions through ducts. They secrete and release mucus, saliva, earwax, oil, etc.
• The second type is called endocrine or ductless glands. They have no ducts. They secrete hormones.
