Goblet cells are glandular and simple columnar cells present in the epithelial of most organisms. Goblet cells secrets mucus, which forms a blanket over the top of the ciliated cells, The regular, coordinated beating of the cilia sweeps the mucus up and out of the airways carrying any debris that is stuck to it.

The common function between goblet cells and cilia is the cleaning of air that enters the body before it reaches to the stomach.
Goblet cells produce mucus which traps dust particles, dirt and bacteria and cilia move this mucus back up to the trachea so it can be moved to stomach and get destroyed.
