The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Duct of Mammary Glands**: The mammary glands are responsible for milk production and secretion, and they contain ducts that transport the milk. 2. **Identifying the Types of Epithelial Tissue**: The question provides four options for the type of epithelium that makes up the ducts: - Stratified cuboidal epithelium - Stratified columnar epithelium - Stratified squamous epithelium - Pseudostratified epithelium 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium**: This type consists of multiple layers of cuboidal cells. It is commonly found in glands and ducts. - **Stratified Columnar Epithelium**: This type has multiple layers with the superficial layer being columnar. It is less common and not typically found in mammary glands. - **Stratified Squamous Epithelium**: This type consists of multiple layers of flat cells and is usually found in areas subject to abrasion, such as skin. - **Pseudostratified Epithelium**: This type appears to be stratified but is actually a single layer of cells of varying heights. It is commonly found in the respiratory tract. 4. **Conclusion**: The ducts of the mammary glands are primarily composed of stratified cuboidal epithelium, which allows for the transport of milk and provides some protection. 5. **Final Answer**: The duct of the mammary gland is composed of **stratified cuboidal epithelium**.
