  • squamous epithelium

  • ciliated epithelium

  • columnar epithelium

  • cubical epithelium


B.

ciliated epithelium

The cells of ciliated epithelium consists of numerous delicate hair like outgrowths, called cilia. It lines most of the respiratory tract and Fallopian tubes. It is also present in the tympanic cavity of middle ear and auditory tube.

Squamous epithelium is made of a single thin layer of flattened cells with irregular boundaries. It is found in the walls of blood vessels and air sacs of lungs.
