Question

Absorption of digested food by intestine is due to which type of epithelial cells

Answer 1

I think keratin or pavement epithelial

Answer 2

Columnar epithelium consist of pillar-like cells with their nuclei towards the base. They form the lining of stomach, small intestine and colon, forming the mucous membrane. Their main function is absorption (e.g., stomach, intestine) and secretion (e.g., mucous by goblet cells). Stratified squamous epithelium, also known as pavement epithelium is covered by fibrous protein, (keratin) that covers the skin. This epithelium is waterproof and resistant to mechanical injury. Cuboidal epithelium is found in kidney tubules, thyroid vesicles and in glands.
