Are Ciliated Cells Found in Plants?

Cilia are hairlike projections from the cell body. They are found in animal cells and in protists but not typically in plant cells.

Where can ciliated cells be found?

Ciliated cells are located on the epithelium terminal bronchioles to the larynx and their function is to move rhythmically.

What cells are only found in plants?

The plant cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, plastids, and a central vacuole—structures not found in animal cells. Plant cells do not have lysosomes or centrosomes.
