medium Q8 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Identify epithelial tissue types
The question asks which epithelial tissue has hair-like structures to move mucus.Step 2: Recall tissue functions
Ciliated epithelium has cilia that move mucus; squamous is flat; cuboidal is cube-shaped; columnar is tall and absorptive.Final Answer:
Ciliated epithelium → Option CQuick Check:
Ciliated epithelium = moves mucus in respiratory tract ✅
Quick Trick: Cilia help clear mucus and dust from airways.
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing ciliated epithelium with columnar epithelium due to similar cell shape.
