Which of the following statements about types of epithelial cells is false? a. Simple columnar epithelial cells line the tissue of the lung. b. Simple cuboidal epithelial cells are involved in the filtering of blood in the kidney. c. Pseudostratisfied columnar epithilia occur in a single layer, but the arrangement of nuclei makes it appear that more than one layer is present. d. Transitional epithelia change in thickness depending on how full the bladder is.
Columnar epithelial cells, which are typically found in a single-layer arrangement, are found along the digestive tract. What is the role of columnar epithelial cells in digestion? a. Columnar epithelial cells absorb material from the lumen of the digestive tract to prepare the material for entry into the body. b. Columnar epithelial cells release mucus for lubrication as well as antimicrobial agents in the digestive tract. c. Columnar epithelial cells secrete enzymes like salivary amylase which aid in digestion by the breakdown of carbohydrates in the body. d. Columnar epithelial cells help in the propulsion of food by peristalsis in the digestive tract of the body
