Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

The lining epithelium of the monkey trachea demonstrates a pseudostratified epithelium with cilia and gland cells (goblet cells).  In a pseudostratified epithelium, all cells rest on the basement membrane, though not all reach the free surface.  This variation in height, and thus position of the nuclei, gives the impression of a stratified epithelium.  1000x
