In humans, a simple columnar epithelium lines most organs of the digestive tract including the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Simple columnar epithelia line the uterus. Contents 1 Structure 2 Location 2.1 Ciliated 2.2 Non-ciliated 3 References 4 External links Structure See also : Cilia Simple columnar epithelium is further divided into two categories : ciliated and non-ciliated. Location Non-ciliated types are found in the digestive tract. Ciliated types are found within bronchioles of the respiratory tract and in the oviduct of the female reproductive tract. Ciliated Main article : Respiratory epithelium Ciliated columnar epithelium moves mucus and other substances via cilia and is found in the upper respiratory tract, the Fallopian tubes, the uterus, and the central part of the spinal cord. They are the primary target of infection for `` common cold viruses '' such as coronaviruses, influenza virus and rhinoviruses. These viruses may kill the ciliated cells or stop the cilia beating. In either case, mucus builds up and forms a good site for secondary bacterial infections, resulting in mucus. A ciliated columnar epithelium lines the lumen of the uterine tube, where currents generated by the cilia propel the egg cell toward the uterus. Non-ciliated This is found lining sections of the gastrointestinal tract and may be brush bordered. Vertical section of a villus from the dog 's small intestine. X 80.
