The figure shows different human tissues labelled as to . 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 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. 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 tubes and helps to move particles or mucus in a specific direction over the epithelium.
