Q160 / 180 · AIIMS 2010 · Zoology

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

  • A
    squamous epithelium
  • Correct answer
    B
    ciliated epithelium
  • C
    columnar epithelium
  • D
    cubical epithelium.

Solution

In ciliated epithelium, the cells bear numerous delicate hair like outgrowths, the cilia, arising from basal granules. This epithelium lines most of the respiratory tract and Fallopian tubes (oviducts). It is also present in tympanic cavity of middle ear and auditory tube (Eustachian tube).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
