Question

The epithelial tissue present on the inner surface of bronchioles and fallopian tube is

• A. glandular
• B. ciliated
• C. squamous
• D. cuboidal

Answer 1

The correct option is B ciliated

Tissues that line the internal and external surface of an organ are called epithelial cells. There are various types of epithelial cells which includes- squamous, cuboidal, columnar, ciliated and glandular.
Squamous epithelium is composed of flat cells. Cuboidal epithelium is composed of cells that are in cuboidal shape. If the shape of the epithelial cells resemble a column, then they are columnar epithelium. Presence of hair like structure called cilia on the epithelial tissue surface a is a characteristic feature of ciliated epithelium. The epithelial tissue modified into a secretory gland is called glandular epithelium. For example the goblet cells in the stomach which secrete mucus.
The bronchioles and fallopian are lined by the ciliated columnar epithelium on the inner side. The cilia facilitates the movement of the ova in the fallopian tube.
