(e)	Pseudostratified nonciliated columnar epithelium	(v)	Mucosa of stomach and intestine

• A. (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(v), (d)-(i), (e)-(ii)
• B. (a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(iii), (e)-(v)
• C. (a)-(v), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iv), (e)-(i)
• D. (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(iii), (d)-(v), (e)-(i)

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

[a] Simple squamous epithelium is found in alveoli of lungs, capillaries, glomeruli, and other tissues where rapid diffusion is required.

[b] Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in thyroid glands, kidney tubules, glandular ducts and ovaries, and the thyroid gland.

[c] Non-ciliated simple columnar epithelium lines the organs of the digestive tract including the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.

[d] The transitional epithelium is found in the urinary bladder, ureters, and gland ducts of the prostate.

[e] Pseudostratified non-ciliated columnar epithelium lines the epididymis of the male reproductive system.

So, (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(v), (d)-(i), (e)-(ii)

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
