Multiciliated cells (MCC) are specialised epithelial cells that project between dozens to hundreds of motile cilia—cellular appendages that facilitate locomotor functions. Present in the respiratory tract, brain, and reproductive system, these cells are responsible for ensuring the correct circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, expelling mucus from the respiratory tract, and transporting the oocyte and spermatozoa in the oviduct and efferent ducts, respectively.
