Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium have projections called cilia, which help in moving mucus and particles along the surface of the tissue. These projections aid in maintaining the health of the respiratory system by trapping and removing harmful substances from the airways.
Cilia in the respiratory tract help to sweep contaminated mucus out of the airways and move it towards the throat where it can be expelled or swallowed. This helps to clear the airways of bacteria, viruses, and other particles that may cause infection or irritation.
