Choose the correctly matched pair:
- Inner surface of bronchioles - squamous epithelium
- Moist surface of buccal cavity - Glandular epithelium
- Inner lining of salivary ducts - Ciliated epithelium
- Tubular parts of nephrons - Cuboidal epithelium
Answer
(4) Tubular parts of nephrons - Cuboidal epithelium
Solution
As per NCERT, cuboidal epithelium is commonly found in ducts of glands and tubular parts of nephrons in kidneys (4) is correct.
Inner surface of bronchioles is lined by ciliated epithelium (not squamous).
Moist surface of buccal cavity is lined by compound (stratified squamous) epithelium.
Inner lining of salivary ducts is cuboidal epithelium (compound epithelium in larger ducts), not ciliated.
Answer: (4)
