Step-by-step solution
SIMPLE CILIATED EPITHELIUM: Structure: The simple ciliated epithelium comprises cells bearing fine, vibratile cilia on their free surface. Mixed with the ciliated cells, mucus-secreting goblet cells are found at intervals. It is of two types: * Cuboidal ciliated epithelium: It comprises cuboidal cells bearing cilia on their free surface. It is found in the nephrons and facilitates urine formation. * Columnar ciliated epithelium: It comprises columnar cells that bear cilia on the free surface. It forms the lining of
