21. TRACHEA

22. Trachea Pseudostratified Epithelium Pseudostratified ciliated cells and mucous (goblet) cells are the two major components of the epithelium. Cilia beat at 1,000 to 1,500 cycles per minute resulting in movement of the mucus blanket at 0.5-1 mm /min in small airways and 5-20 mm/min in the trachea and main bronchi.
