No cells of small intestine do not have cilia. The main functions of small intestine is absorption of digested food. Hence, its surface area has to be large. Villi and microvilli serve this purpose and increase the surface area of mucosa many fold.
Also, the diameter of small intestine if large enough so no cilia is required, for passage of food too.
No, the tissue in the intestines is not ciliated. Intestinal tissue is lined with specialized cells called enterocytes, which have microvilli on their surface to increase surface area for nutrient absorption. Cilia are typically found on cells in the respiratory tract and fallopian tubes to help with movement of mucus and egg cells, respectively.

Is ciliated epithelial cells a tissue?
yes
What tissue covers the outer surface of the body and lines the intestines lungs and other hollow organs?
Epithelial tissue lines the outer surface of the body and lines the hollow organs.
What tissue does ciliated cell form?
Ciliated cells form epithelial tissue. These specialized cells have hair-like structures called cilia on their surface that help move substances across the surface of tissues, such as in the respiratory tract to help clear mucus.
What is the name of the throat tissue?
The tissue in the throat is called the pharynx.
What is the kind of epithelial tissue of pleura?
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. This lines the nasal cavity as well as the trachea. The oral cavity, as well as the pharynx, is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, due to obstructions from food.
What would a group of ciliated epithelial cells be called?
ciliated epithelial tissue
Is ciliated epithelial cells a tissue?
yes
What would would a group of ciliated cells be called?
ciliated epithelial tissue
What tissue propels sheets of mucus?
a ciliated epithelium
What tissue covers the outer surface of the body and lines the intestines lungs and other hollow organs?
Epithelial tissue lines the outer surface of the body and lines the hollow organs.
Tissue that propels substances across its surface?
pseudostratified ciliated columnar

Why are small intestines longer than large intestines?
The intestines are a tissue from your body.
What is the name of the throat tissue?
The tissue in the throat is called the pharynx.
What is the kind of epithelial tissue of pleura?
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. This lines the nasal cavity as well as the trachea. The oral cavity, as well as the pharynx, is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, due to obstructions from food.
What type of epithelial tissue propels substances (e.g. mucus) across surfaces?
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial tissue propels substances across surfaces.
Difference between simple ciliated columnar and non ciliated columnar?
Simple ciliated columnar epithelium has cilia that help move substances across the cell surface, whereas non-ciliated columnar epithelium lacks cilia. Non-ciliated columnar epithelium is involved in secretion and absorption, whereas ciliated columnar epithelium is mainly found in areas where the movement of mucus or particles is important, such as the respiratory tract.
