* '''Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelia''' is the type of [[respiratory epithelium]] found in the linings of the [[trachea]] as well as the [[upper respiratory tract]].

* '''Pseudostratified columnar epithelia with [[stereocilia]]''' are located in the [[epididymis]]. Stereocilia of the epididymis are not cilia because their cytoskeleton is composed of actin filaments, not microtubules.<ref name=Hofer1996>{{cite journal|last1=Höfer|first1=D.|last2=Drenckhahn|first2=D.|title=Cytoskeletal differences between stereocilia of the human sperm passageway and microvilli/stereocilia in other locations|journal=Anatomical Record|date=1996|volume=245|issue=1|pages=57–64|doi=10.1002/(SICI)1097-0185(199605)245:1<57::AID-AR10>3.0.CO;2-8|pmid=8731041|doi-access=free}}</ref> They are structurally and molecularly more similar to microvilli than to true cilia.{{dubious|date=November 2020}}
