What Types of Epithelial Cells are Found in the Respiratory Tract?
The respiratory tract is lined with different types of epithelial cells depending on the region. The nasal cavity, trachea, and bronchi are primarily lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells. In contrast, the bronchioles are lined with simple cuboidal or columnar epithelium, and the alveoli are lined with simple squamous epithelium.
