- found in bronchioles

Question 5

what is the function of ciliated columnar epithelial

Answer 5

• clear substance or very foreign bodies over epithelial surfaces

Question 6

how does the structure help the function in a ciliated columnar epithelial

Answer 6

the cilia moves so it helps play a role in the moving

Question 7
