The type of epithelial cells which line the inner surface of Fallopian tubes, bronchioles and small bronchi are known as
Options
- Asquamous epithelium
- Bcolumnar epithelium
- Cciliated epithelium
- Dcubical epithelium.
Correct answer
C. ciliated epithelium
Step-by-step solution
Ciliated epithelium is a region of epithelium consisting of columnar or cuboidal cells bearing hairlike appendages called cilia, that are capable of beating rapidly. Ciliated epithelium performs the functions of moving particles of fluids over the epithelial surface.
