Question

Match the following simple epithelial tissues in column I with their occurrence in column II and choose the correct combination from the options given.

	Column I		Column II
A	Squamous	1	Intestinal glands
B	Cuboidal	2	Trachea
C	Columnar	3	Ovary
D	Ciliated	4	Alveoli
E	Pseudo stratified	5	Oviduct

• A. A- 1 , B- 2 , C- 4, D- 3 , E- 5
• B. A- 5, B- 4, C- 2, D- 1, E- 3
• C. A- 4, B- 5, C- 1, D- 2, E- 3
• D. A- 4, B- 3, C- 1, D- 2, E- 5
• E. A- 4, B- 3, C- 1, D- 5, E- 2

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

A- 4, B- 3, C- 1, D- 5, E- 2

1. Alveoli have squamous epithelial cells. So, option A in column I goes with option 4 in column II.
2. Germinal epithelium (ovary) has cuboidal squamous epithelial cells. So, option B in column I goes with option 3 in column II.
3. The intestinal glands has columnar epithelium. So, option C in column I goes with option 1 in column II.
4. Ciliated epithelia are usually found in the air passages like the nose and repiratory tract, oviduct etc. So, option D in column I goes with option 5 in column II.
5. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium in trachea of upper respiratory tract. So, option E in column I goes with option 2 in column II.

So, the correct answer is option E.
