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 unicellular glands that secrete mucus, called goblet cells. Both the cilia and unicellular glands indicate that this is a simple epithelium.
