The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Ciliated Epithelium**: Ciliated epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue that has hair-like structures called cilia on its surface. These cilia help in the movement of substances across the epithelial surface. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The question provides four options where ciliated epithelium might be found: - Stomach - Oviduct - Salivary glands - Vomit capsules 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Stomach**: The lining of the stomach is primarily made up of simple columnar epithelium, which does not have cilia. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Oviduct**: The oviduct (or fallopian tube) is lined with ciliated epithelium. The cilia help in the movement of the ovum (egg) towards the uterus. This option is likely correct. - **Salivary Glands**: Salivary glands are lined with glandular epithelium, which is specialized for secretion, not ciliated epithelium. Thus, this option is incorrect. - **Vomit Capsules**: This term is unclear, but if referring to the lining of the esophagus or stomach, it would not have ciliated epithelium. This option is also incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that ciliated epithelium is found in the lining of the **oviduct**. **Final Answer**: Ciliated epithelium is found in the lining of the oviduct. ---
