Question:

The type of epithelial cells which line the inner surface of fallopian tubes, bronchioles and small bronchi are known as?

Ciliated epithelium

Cuboidal epithelium

Squamous epithelium

Columnar epithelium

Solution:

The correct answer is Ciliated epithelium. Fallopian tubes, bronchioles, and small bronchi require a type of epithelium that can move substances along their surfaces. Ciliated epithelium is characterized by the presence of cilia, hair-like projections that beat rhythmically to create a current that moves mucus and other substances. This is crucial for functions like moving the egg in the fallopian tube or clearing debris from the respiratory tract.
