Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Although pseudostratified epithelium appears stratified, all of its cells rest on the basement membrane. The epithelium pictured here is ciliated and possesses goblet cells, unicellular glands that secrete mucus. Both the presence of cilia and goblet cells indicate that this is a simple epithelium.
