Answer 2

Kidney tubes, thyroid glands, surface of ovary, secretory regions of most glands and ducts.

Question 3

simple conciliated columnar epithelium

Answer 3

Single layer, taller than wide, oval nucleus, may have goblet cells
Secretion of mucin and movement of mucus along apical surface of epithelium.
Location: oocyte movement through uterine tubes, and lining of larger bronchioles

Question 4

Ciliated pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium

Answer 4

single layer of cells with varying heights, all cells connect to basement membrane, goblet cells and cilia
Protects and moves mucus along apical surface of epithelium
Lining of larger airways of respiratory tract- nasal cavity, part of pharynx, part of larynx, trachea, and bronchi

Question 5

Conciliated pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium

Answer 5

Protects
Found in male urethra and epididymus
