• A. A- (I), B- (II), C- (IV), D- (III), E- (V)
• B. A- (V), B- (III), C- (II), D- (IV), E- (I)
• C. A- (II), B- (IV), C- (III), D- (V), E- (I)
• D. A- (III), B- (IV), C- (V), D- (I), E- (II)

Answer 1

The correct option is

D

A- (III), B- (IV), C- (V), D- (I), E- (II)

1. Simple squamous epithelia are found in alveoli of lungs, capillaries, glomeruli and other tissues where rapid diffusion is required.
2. Simple cuboidal ephithelia are found in thyroid glands, kidney tubules, glandular ducts and ovaries, and the thyroid gland. On these surfaces, the simple cuboidal ephithelial cells perform secretion and absorption.
3. Non-ciliated simple columnar epithelium lines the organs of the digestive tract including stomach, small intestine and large intestine whereas the
4. Pseudostratified non-ciliated columnar epithelium lines the epididymis of the male reproductive system.
5. The transitional epithelium is made up of multiple layers of epithelial cells with an ability to expand and contract and are found in the urinary bladder, ureters and gland ducts of the prostrate.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
