Unicellular gland
This lining epithelium of the trachea is a pseudostratified epithelium with cilia and goblet cells. Goblet cells release mucin proteins which become hydrated, thereby forming mucus. The mucus traps inhaled particles and the entire mucous sheet is moved upward by the beating action of the cilia. 1000x
