What are the Types of Cells in Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium?
The epithelium consists of several cell types, each contributing to its overall function:
Ciliated Cells: These cells have cilia on their apical surface which beat rhythmically to move mucus. Goblet Cells: These are mucus-secreting cells that play a vital role in trapping and clearing debris. Basal Cells: Smaller cells located near the basement membrane that serve as stem cells, regenerating the epithelium.
