Cuboidal epithelium is a single layer of cube shaped cells with a centrally located nucleus. Ciliated epithelium is a type of bodily tissues that is lined with "ciliated" cells, which are basically cells that have small, hair-like protrusions known as 'cilia" that can either help the cells move along the tissue or can help debris and waste move along the surface of the cells. Columnar epithelial cells occur in one or more layers. The cells are elongated and column-shaped. The nuclei are elongated and are usually located near the base of the cells. Squamous cells have the appearance of thin, flat plates. The shape of the nucleus usually corresponds to the cell form and help to identify the type of epithelium. Keratinized squamous epithelium consists of multiple layers of squamous cells. The apical layer of cells are dead and filled with the protein keratin.

  • $1$: Columnar cells bearing cilia; $2$: Multicellular glandular epithelium
Answer
Correct option: D.
$1$: Columnar cells bearing cilia; $2$: Multicellular glandular epithelium
d
Tissue $1$ is columnar cells bearing cilia and tissue $2$ is multicellular glandular epithelium. Ciliated columnar epithelial cells possess fine hairlike outgrowths, cilia on their free surfaces. These cilia are capable of rapid, rhythmic, wavelike beatings in a certain direction. This movement of the cilia in a certain direction causes the mucus, which is secreted by the goblet cells, to move (flow or stream) in that direction. Ciliated epithelium is usually found in the air passages like the nose. It is also found in the uterus and fallopian tubes of females. Columnar epithelium with goblet cells is called glandular epithelium. Some parts of the glandular epithelium consist of such a large number of goblet cells that there are only a few normal epithelial cells left.

b
Columnar epithelium is an epithelium consisting of one or more layers of elongated cells of cylindrical or prismatic shape. Columnar epithelial cells resemble elongated boxes. They have oval nuclei that usually are situated in the lower part of the cell. The cells are closely joined together and rest on a basement membrane, known as the basal lamina. Some cells have tiny hair-like structures known as cilia on their upper surfaces. These tiny fronds beat in unison to waft particles across the cell surface. Columnar cells with cilia can be found in the respiratory tracts. Other cells have minute finger-like projections called microvilli. These help to increase the surface area available for absorption and can be found in the lining of the intestines.

In which one of the following preparations are you likely to come across cell junctions most frequently?
  • A
    Thrombocytes
  • B
    Tendon
  • C
    Hyaline cartilage
  • Ciliated epithelium
Answer
Correct option: D.
Ciliated epithelium
d
(d) : From the given four options cell junctions come across most frequently in the preparation of ciliated epithelium. A cell junction is a structure within a tissue of a multicellular organism. Cell junctions are especiallyabundant in epithelial tissues. They consist of protein complexes and provide contact between neighbouring cells, between a cell and the extracellular matrix, or they built up the paracellular barrier of epithelia and control the paracellular transport. Ciliated epithelium is a region of epithelium consisting of columnar or cuboidal cells bearing hairlike appendages that are capable of beating rapidly. Ciliated epithelium performs the function of moving particles or fluid over the epithelial surface in such structures as the trachea, bronchial tubes, and nasal cavities. It often occurs in the vicinityof mucus­ secreting goblet cells.

The other three (thrombocytes, tendon and hyaline cartilage) belongs to connective tissue. Connective tissue is widely distributed and has many functions including support, packing, defence and repair. Thrombocytes or platelets aid the formation of blood clots by releasing various protein substances. Tendon attaches a muscle to a bone and hyaline cartilage consists largely of glycosaminoglycan, giving a shiny glass like appearance and gives flexibility and support at the joints.

The type of epithelial cells which line the inner surface of fallopian tubes, bronchioles and small bronchi are known as
  • A
    squamous epithelium
  • B
    columnar epithelium
  • ciliated epithelium
  • D
    cubical epithelium
Answer
Correct option: C.
ciliated epithelium
c
Columnar ciliated epithelium posses fine hair like ongrowths, cilia on thier free surfaces. This epithelium lines the nasal passages, oviduct (fallopion tube), terminal bronchiole etc. Its major function is protection and movement of mucus, urine and egg in a particular direction.

Squamous epithelium forms the lining of cavities such as the mouth, blood vessels, heart and lungs and make up the outer layers of the skin. Columnar epithelium forms the lining of the stomach and intestines. Some columnar cells are specialized for sensory reception such as in the nose, ears and the taste buds of the tongue. Cubical epithelium is found in
glands and in the lining of the kidney tubules as well as in the ducts of the glands. They also constitute the germinal epithelium which produces the egg cells in the female ovary and the sperm cells in the male testes

Cartilage is a semi rigid connective tissue that is weaker than bone, but more flexible resilient. Cartilage serves to provide structure and support to the body's other tissues and also provide a cushioning effect in points. Bone is rigid connective tissue and forms the skeleton of the body. It is composed chiefly of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. It also serves as a storage area for calcium, playing a large role in calcium balance in the blood. Blood is a fluid connecting tissue. Blood delivers necessary substances, such as nutrients and oxygen, to the body's cells (in animals) and transports waste products away from those same cells.
