Cell Type Overview

Ciliated cells are epithelial cells characterized by the presence of motile cilia (hair-like projections) on their apical surface. They are found in the respiratory tract, oviducts, and ventricles of the brain (ependymal cells). Coordinated, rhythmic beating of cilia moves fluid or mucus over the epithelial surface. In the airways, this "mucociliary escalator" traps and propels inhaled particles and pathogens out of the lungs, a key defense mechanism.
