Solution
The correct option is B Ciliated cells
The nasal cavity is lined by the respiratory mucosa that contains a ciliated, pseudostratified columnar epithelium on its surface. The ciliated, pseudostratified columnar epithelium of the respiratory mucosa is composed of five cell types:- Ciliated cells, tall columnar cells with cilia, that project into the mucus covering the surface of the epithelium.
- Goblet cells that synthesise and secrete mucus.
- Brush cells, a general name for those cells in the respiratory tract, that bear short, blunt microvilli.
- Small granule cells (Kulchitsky cells) that resemble basal cells but contain secretory granules. These are enteroendocrine cells of the APUD system.
- Basal cells, stem cells from which the other cell types arise.
