  2. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudostratified_columnar...

    Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium is the type of respiratory epithelium found in the linings of the trachea as well as upper respiratory tract, which allows filtering and humidification of incoming air. [1] Non-ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelia are located in the prostate [2] and membranous part of male vas deferens.

  6. Epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelium

    There are three principal shapes of epithelial cell: squamous (scaly), columnar, and cuboidal. These can be arranged in a singular layer of cells as simple epithelium, either simple squamous, simple columnar, or simple cuboidal, or in layers of two or more cells deep as stratified (layered), or compound, either squamous, columnar or cuboidal ...

  7. Pharynx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharynx

    The nasopharynx is lined by respiratory epithelium that is pseudostratified, columnar, and ciliated. Polyps or mucus can obstruct the nasopharynx, as can congestion due to an upper respiratory infection. The auditory tube, which connects the middle ear to the pharynx, opens into the nasopharynx at the pharyngeal opening of the auditory tube ...

  8. Nasal cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_cavity

    The olfactory segment is lined with a specialized type of pseudostratified columnar epithelium, known as olfactory epithelium, which contains receptors for the sense of the smell. This segment is located in and beneath the mucosa of the roof of each nasal cavity and the medial side of each middle turbinate.

  9. Neuroectoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroectoderm

    Histologically, these cells are classified as pseudostratified columnar cells. [1] After recruitment from the ectoderm, the neuroectoderm undergoes three stages of development: transformation into the neural plate, transformation into the neural groove (with associated neural folds), and transformation into the neural tube.
