Form Cell Configuration One layer of cells oriented vertically at different heights. Cells organized into a radial pattern creating a cavity. Several layers of vertically oriented cells. Many cell layers oriented horizontally. Thin layer or horizontal cells. Unique Cell Characteristics These cells contain cilia.

Subcategory Function Special Cell Function Cilia moves the mucous. General Tissue Type Function Lining the nasal passage and lubricating that region. Formation of glands and lining of kidneys. Lines the inner surface of some organs, usually providing extra protection. Provide extra layering and quickly cell reproduction in specialized organs and reions of the skin.
