Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
Epithelium covers and lines. Squamous: flat. Cuboidal: cube. Columnar: tall. Ciliated: with cilia that sweep mucus.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
(a) Columnar epithelium.
(b) Cuboidal epithelium.
(c) Ciliated columnar epithelium.
(d) Squamous epithelium, one thin layer.
