Answer: pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium.

The nasal cavity is divided into two segments: the respiratory segment and the olfactory segment. The respiratory segment comprises most of each nasal fossa and is lined with ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium (also called respiratory epithelium). The conchae, or turbinates, are located in this region.
