Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about a specific type of epithelial tissue characterized by thin, flat cells that resemble packed tiles. 2. **Identifying Epithelial Tissue Types**: Epithelial tissues are classified into different types based on cell shape and arrangement. The type described in the question is likely squamous epithelium, which consists of thin, flat cells. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Inner lining of cheek**: This area is lined with squamous epithelium, which fits the description of thin, flat cells. - **Option B: Inner lining of the stomach**: The stomach is lined with columnar epithelium, which does not match the description. - **Option C: Inner lining of fallopian tubes**: This is also lined with ciliated columnar epithelium, not squamous epithelium. - **Option D: Outer surface of the intestine**: The outer surface of the intestine is lined with columnar epithelium as well. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option A: Inner lining of cheek**, as it is the only option that consists of squamous epithelium, which is composed of thin, flat cells. ---
