The figure shows different human tissues labelled as A to D . Which option gives the correct identification of the label, its location and one feature?
Options
- AD-Unicellular glandular epithelium, goblet cells, secrete saliva
- BB-Squamous epithelium, walls of blood vessels, form a diffusion boundary
- CA-Cuboidal epithelium, ducts of glands secretion and absorption
- DC-Columnar epithelium, lining of stomach, secretion and absorption
Correct answer
D. C-Columnar epithelium, lining of stomach, secretion and absorption
Step-by-step solution
The given figure A is squamous epithelium, found in walls of blood vessels and air sacs of lungs and is involved in functions like forming a diffusion layer. B is cuboidal epithelium, found in ducts of glands and tubular parts of nephrons of kidney and its main functions are secretion and absorption. C is columnar epithelium, found in lining of stomach and intestine and helps in secretion and absorption. D is ciliated columnar epithelium, present in inner surface of hollow organs like bronchioles and Fallopian tube
