The type of epithelial cells which line the inner surface of fallopian tubes, bronchioles and small bronchi are known as
(a) squamous epithelium
(b) columnar epithelium
(c) ciliated epithelium
(d) cubical epithelium
(c) ciliated epithelium
Explanation:
Columnar ciliated epithelium posses fine hair like ongrowths, cilia on thier free surfaces. This epithelium lines the nasal passages, oviduct (fallopion tube), terminal bronchiole etc. Its major function is protection and movement of mucus, urine and egg in a particular direction.
Squamous epithelium forms the lining of cavities such as the mouth, blood vessels, heart and lungs and make up the outer layers of the skin. Columnar epithelium forms the lining of the stomach and intestines. Some columnar cells are specialized for sensory reception such as in the nose, ears and the taste buds of the tongue. Cubical epithelium is found in glands and in the lining of the kidney tubules as well as in the ducts of the glands. They also constitute the germinal epithelium which produces the egg cells in the female ovary and the sperm cells in the male testes.
