ciliated epithelium A region of epithelium consisting of columnar or cuboidal cells bearing hairlike appendages 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. It often occurs in the vicinity of mucus-secreting goblet cells.
These hairs, called cilia, move back and forth to help move particles out of our body. We find ciliated epithelial tissue in our respiratory tract and in the fallopian tubes of women. Ciliated epitheliumcontains goblet cells, which secrete mucous.
What happens when you catch a cold? Or when you breathe in dust? You sneeze, right? Ciliated epithelium tissue prompts your sneeze and also helps keep you healthy in other important ways.
First, let's break this down a bit. What are cilia, and what is epithelium? Cilia are hair-like structures that sit on top of a tissue. They wave back and forth to help move things. Epithelium is a tissue type. This is typically a very thin tissue that covers structures. The best example of epithelial tissue is the human skin.
So, why are these structures important? When you breathe in something like dust - a particle that shouldn’t be in your lungs. The cilia that line your respiratory tract catch these particles and move them out, triggering a sneeze.
The function of ciliated epithelial cells is to move secretions and foreign bodies away with a certain direction of rapid, wave-like motions from the hair-like structures that cover their free surfaces, according to Microbiology Bytes.
MicrobiologyBytes explains some of the places where ciliated epithelial cells are found. Within the brain, ciliated epithelium cells move cerebral spinal fluid. Within the oviduct, these cells transport the egg from the ovary to the uterus. In the respiratory tract, ciliated epithelial cells move mucous that contains dust and bacteria out of the body.
According to Education Portal, without properly functioning ciliated epithelial cells, foreign bodies lodge in our respiratory tract and cause illness. Wikipedia states that within the respiratory tract is a layer of cells known as the ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. The cells within this layer are of three types: ciliated cells, goblet cells and basal cells. As explained above, ciliated epithelial cells move substances in a particular direction. Goblet cells, which are shaped like a wine goblet, produce and secrete mucous that traps bacteria and other foreign bodies within the airways of the respiratory tract. Basal cells are able to become different types of cells within the epithelium as required. This cell layer is called pseudostratified because, though there are three different types of cells in it giving the appearance of stratification, they actually form only one layer.
