has part has part has characteristic ciliated epithelial cell columnar/cuboidal epithelial cell multiciliated epithelial cell While the term 'multi-ciliated epithelial cell' refers to cells with multiple motile cilia, there are exceptions where epithelial cells may have multiple non-motile cilia. Examples include olfactory sensory neurons, which have non-motile cilia for sensory detection, and choroid plexus epithelial cells, which possess multiple non-motile cilia with transient motility during development. Multiciliated cells are essential for human health, and their dysfunction can lead to various diseases known as ciliopathies, such as primary ciliary dyskinesia. This condition affects the respiratory system, brain ventricles, and reproductive system, leading to chronic respiratory infections, hydrocephalus, and infertility A columnar/cuboidal epithelial cell with multiple motile cilia on its apical surface. These cells facilitate the movement of liquids such as mucus or cerebrospinal fluid across the epithelial surface.
