Detailed explanation-1: -In the respiratory tract, the columnar epithelial tissue has cilia. These are hair like projections on the outer surface of the epithelial cells. This type of epithelium is known as ciliated columnar epithelium .

Detailed explanation-2: -A pseudostratified epithelium may be further typified as either ciliated (with cilia) or non-ciliated (lacking cilia). Ciliated pseudostratified epithelium lines the trachea and parts of the upper respiratory tract. As for the non-ciliated type, it is exemplified by the membranous tissue lining the vas deferens.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cilia: Cilia are tiny, hair-like, motile (they can move) structures on the surface of the cell that help move entire cells or can move substances along the outer surface of the cell. Ciliated cells usually have hundreds of cilia on their surfaces.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ciliated epithelium is a thin tissue that has hair-like structures on it. These hairs, called cilia, move back and forth to help move particles out of our body. We find ciliated epithelial tissue in our respiratory tract and in the fallopian tubes of women.
