Description: A columnar/cuboidal epithelial cell with multiple motile cilia on its apical surface. These cells facilitate the movement of liquids such as mucus or cerebrospinal fluid across the epithelial surface.

Synonyms: multi-ciliated cell, multiciliated cell, multiciliated epithelial cell, MCC
