The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the identification of the types of epithelium based on the given descriptions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze Epithelium A - **Description**: "Epithelium A is commonly found in ducts of glands and tubular parts of the nephron." - **Identification**: The epithelium found in the ducts of glands and the tubular parts of the nephron is **simple cuboidal epithelium**. This type of epithelium is specialized for secretion and absorption. ### Step 2: Analyze Epithelium B - **Description**: "Epithelium B is found in the inner surface of hollow organs like bronchioles and fallopian tubes." - **Identification**: The epithelium present in the inner surfaces of bronchioles and fallopian tubes is **ciliated epithelium**. This type of epithelium helps in the movement of particles and fluids along the surface. ### Step 3: Analyze Epithelium C - **Description**: "Epithelium C provides protection against chemical and mechanical stress." - **Identification**: The epithelium that provides protection against chemical and mechanical stress is known as **compound epithelium**. This type of epithelium is thicker and provides a barrier against damage. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - **Epithelium A**: Simple cuboidal epithelium - **Epithelium B**: Ciliated epithelium - **Epithelium C**: Compound epithelium Thus, the correct identification of the epithelium types is: - A: Simple cuboidal epithelium - B: Ciliated epithelium - C: Compound epithelium ### Final Answer The answer is: - A is simple cuboidal epithelium - B is ciliated epithelium - C is compound epithelium
