By which type of the epithelium are bronchioles, terminal bronchioles and respiratory bronchioles lined(ciliated or not)?

  #2

All ciliated except BRONCHI wHICH AREsimple columnar but not ciliated

  #3

All ciliated except respiratory bronchioles which is a transitional epithelium (cuboidal to alveolar). Bronchial epithelium is ciliated too. So, the second poster's answer is wrong.

  #4

Cilia are last to disappear in respiratory tube...they persist upto the end of Respiratory Bronchioles..

  #5
