Students have asked these similar questions
What type of epithelium lines the gas exchange surfaces of the alveoli?
a. pseudostratified columnar epithelium
b. ciliated columnar epithelium
c. simple squamous epithelium
d. simple cuboidal epithelium
I believe that it is pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium but that is not an option so I don't know what one to choose.
What kind of epithelium lines the nasal cavity, trachea and both principle bronchi?
Group of answer choices
a. Stratified squamous epithelium
b. Stratified squamous epithelium in the nasal cavity and respiratory epithelium for trachea and principle bronchi
c. Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
d. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells
What kind of tissue lines most of the respiratory tract?
a. Ciliated squamous epithelium
b. Simple squamous epithelium
c. Ciliated cuboidal epithelium
d. Ciliated pseudostratified epithelium
