Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a specialized epithelial tissue found primarily in the lining of the trachea, vas deferens, and Fallopian tubes. Its key function is to move substances across surfaces via cilia, providing an essential "mucociliary escalator" in the respiratory system. Additionally, this tissue plays a crucial role in the digestive system, seen in simple columnar epithelium located in structures like the stomach and intestines, which specialize in nutrient absorption and digestion. Transitional epithelium is also vital, allowing for stretching in the urinary bladder and ureters.
