    Name the ET

    • Simple columnar ciliated

    • Simple cuboidal

    • Simple columnar non-ciliated

    • Simple squamous

    Correct Answer
    A. Simple columnar ciliated
    Explanation
    Simple columnar ciliated epithelium is a type of tissue found in the body that consists of tall, narrow cells with hair-like projections called cilia on their surface. These cilia help move substances along the surface of the tissue, such as mucus in the respiratory tract or eggs in the fallopian tubes. This type of epithelium is commonly found in areas of the body that require active movement of substances, such as the respiratory tract, reproductive system, and digestive system.

    • Simple squamous

    • Stratified squamous non-keratinized

    • Transitional

    • Stratified squamous keratinized

    Correct Answer
    A. Stratified squamous keratinized
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Stratified squamous keratinized." This type of epithelium is found in the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. It is composed of multiple layers of flat cells that are filled with a tough protein called keratin. The keratinization process makes the cells waterproof and provides protection against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. This type of epithelium is commonly found in areas exposed to friction and abrasion, such as the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.

    • Stratified squamous non-keratinized

    • Stratified squamous keratinized

    Correct Answer
    A. Stratified squamous non-keratinized
    Explanation
    The given answer, "Stratified squamous non-keratinized," refers to a type of epithelial tissue. Stratified squamous epithelium is a type of tissue that consists of multiple layers of flattened cells. Non-keratinized means that the cells in this tissue do not have a tough, waterproof protein called keratin. This type of tissue is found in areas of the body that are subject to friction and abrasion, such as the lining of the oral cavity, esophagus, and vagina.

    • Transitional

    • Stratified squamous non-keratinized

    • Psueodostratified

    Correct Answer
    A. Transitional
    Explanation
    Transitional epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue that is found in organs such as the urinary bladder, ureters, and urethra. It is characterized by its ability to stretch and contract, allowing these organs to accommodate changes in volume. The cells of transitional epithelium are stratified, meaning they are arranged in multiple layers, and they have the ability to change shape from squamous (flattened) when the organ is empty to cuboidal (rounded) when the organ is full. This unique structure and function make transitional epithelium well-suited for its role in the urinary system.
