Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of cilia: Cilia are hair-like structures on the surface of some epithelial cells that help move substances across the cell surface.

Identify the types of epithelial tissues: The problem lists transitional epithelium, simple squamous epithelium, simple columnar epithelium, and pseudostratified columnar epithelium.

Review the characteristics of each epithelial tissue: Transitional epithelium is found in the urinary bladder and allows for stretching. Simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells, often involved in diffusion and filtration. Simple columnar epithelium can have cilia and is found in the digestive tract. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium often has cilia and is found in the respiratory tract.

Determine which epithelial tissue typically lacks cilia: Simple squamous epithelium is primarily involved in passive processes like diffusion and filtration and does not have cilia.

Conclude that simple squamous epithelium is the epithelial tissue from the list that does not contain ciliated cells.
