Solution
The correct option is B Respiratory tract
- The ciliated columnar epithelium is the layer of simple columnar epithelial cells, but they possess fine hair-like outgrowths i.e., cilia on their free surfaces.
- These cilia are capable of rapid, rhythmic, wave-like beatings in a certain direction.
- These assist in removing dust particles and foreign bodies, which have entered air passages.
- It is found in the fallopian tubes, respiratory tract, bronchi, and larger bronchioles.
- The epithelium lining the ureter is stratified, transitional epithelium.
- Sweat glands are lined by simple cuboidal epithelium while the simple columnar epithelium forms the mucosal lining of stomach.
