Question 1 Match each structure or organ with its corresponding epithelial tissue type Lining of urinary bladder [Choose] Lining of the mouth, esophagus [Choose] Lining of nasal cavity, trachea [Choose] Lining of the stomach, small intestines [Choose] Lining of blood vessels [Choose ] Kidney tubules, ducts of small glands [Choose ]

The lining of the urinary bladder is made up of transitional epithelium, which allows for stretching to accommodate varying volumes of urine. The lining of the mouth and esophagus is composed of stratified squamous epithelium, providing a tough protective layer against friction and abrasion from food. The lining of the nasal cavity and trachea features pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, which helps trap debris and pathogens through its cilia and mucus production. The lining of the stomach and small intestines is represented by simple columnar epithelium, allowing for efficient absorption and secretion of digestive enzymes and nutrients. The lining of blood vessels, known as endothelium, is made from simple squamous epithelium, which minimizes resistance to blood flow and facilitates the exchange of substances. Lastly, kidney tubules and ducts of small glands are lined with simple cuboidal epithelium, which plays a vital role in secretion and absorption processes.
