Question

The inner lining of stomach, rectum and colon is made up of:
  1. Simple squamous epithelium
  2. Simple columnar epithelium
  3. Pseudostratified epithelium
  4. Simple cuboidal epithelium

A
Simple cuboidal epithelium
B
Pseudostratified epithelium
C
Simple squamous epithelium
D
Simple columnar epithelium
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The simple columnar epithelium is a single layer of tall cells arranged like a pillar. In humans, simple columnar epithelium lines most organs of the digestive tract including the stomach, small intestine and large intestine. The simple columnar epithelium is further divided into two categories - ciliated and non-ciliated.
Hence, the correct option is C.
