This
high magnification view of the nasal mucosa shows a pseudostratified
columnar epithelium composed of ciliated cells
and mucous-secreting goblet cells. Note the cilia
at the apical surface and the unstained mucous
within the apices of the flask-shaped goblet cells. The epithelium rests on
a lamina propria of loose connective tissue,
containing mucous glands.
