Question

The type of epithelial cell which line the inner surface of Fallopian tubes, bronchioles and bronchi are known as

• A. Squamous epithelium
• B. Ciliated epithelium
• C. Columnar epithelium
• D. Cubical epithelium

Answer 1

The correct option is B Ciliated epithelium

Ciliated epithelium (columnar) is present as a lining in body structures where mucus is present and the cilia or microvilli present on the exposed surface of the epithelial cells push the mucus towards the outside example in bronchioles and bronchi to remove dust particles and pathogen. It is also present in the fallopian tube or the oviduct to push the egg or ova towards the uterus.

So, the correct answer is 'Ciliated epithelium'
