Identify the tissue indicated in the slide:
A
Stratified columnar epithelium.
B
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
C
Simple columnar epithelium.
D
Stratified cuboidal epithelium.
Verified step by step guidance1
Examine the image closely to identify the characteristics of the epithelial tissue. Look for the arrangement of cells and the number of layers.
Notice that the tissue has a single layer of cells, which is indicative of simple epithelium rather than stratified epithelium.
Observe the shape of the cells. They appear taller than they are wide, which is characteristic of columnar cells.
Consider the presence of nuclei that are aligned in a single row, which supports the identification of simple columnar epithelium.
Compare these observations with the options provided: Stratified columnar epithelium, Pseudostratified columnar epithelium, Simple columnar epithelium, and Stratified cuboidal epithelium. The characteristics match those of simple columnar epithelium.
