• A. In the intestinal mucosa, these cells possess microvilli to increase the absorptive surface area and the tissue is called as brush-bordered columnar epithelium.
• B. In Fallopian tubes of females, these cells possess cilia for the movement of ovum/zygote and the tissue is referred to as ciliated columnar epithelium.
• C. In mucous membrane of stomach, these cells develop mucus secreting cells called goblet cells and the tissue is referred to as glandular columnar epithelium.
• D. In the nephrons of kidneys, these cells possess cilia which keep the urine moving and the tissue is called as ciliated columnar epithelium

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

In the nephrons of kidneys, these cells possess cilia which keep the urine moving and the tissue is called as ciliated columnar epithelium

The given figure represents simple columnar epithelium. In nephrons of kidney, ciliated cuboidal epithelium is present. It consists of cubical cells which have cilia on free surface. The cilia keep the urine moving in tubules.

So, the correct answer is 'in the nephrons of the kidneys, these cells possess cilia which keep the urine moving and the tissue is called ciliated columnar epithelium'
