Ciliated epithelium is a type of tissue found in various parts of the body, including the respiratory tract and the fallopian tubes. It consists of epithelial cells that have tiny hair-like structures called cilia on their surface. These cilia help to move mucus and other substances, keeping the airways clear of dust and pathogens, which is essential for maintaining respiratory health. In the female reproductive system, ciliated epithelium plays a crucial role in transporting the egg from the ovaries to the uterus. The coordinated movement of the cilia helps guide the egg along the fallopian tubes, ensuring successful fertilization and implantation. This specialized tissue is vital for both respiratory and reproductive functions.
