Jasmin observed epithelial tissues in different organs.
The table below gives the results of her observation. Study the same and
state the type of epithelial tissues she has observed in the oesophagus,
intestine and kidney tubules.
Organs studied
Oesophagus
Inner lining of the intestine
Lining of kidney tubules
Characteristics of cells observed
Extremely thin and flat cells
Pillar-like cells
Cube-shaped cells

Explanation:
The esophageal lining is protected by a stratified squamous epithelium. Because this epithelium is normally not exposed to dryness or to abrasion, it is non-keratinized. Scattered submucosal mucous glands provide lubrication. Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in glandular tissue and in the kidney tubules. Simple columnar epithelium lines the stomach and intestines. the pillar like cells the table is referring to are the columnar epithelial cells which can either be ciliated to move mucus across a membrane ( like in the respiratory tract) and the extremely thin and flat cells observed by Jasmin are a cue for you to write the proper name of the squamous epithelial tissue i.e. simple( I have written stratified above because the description given by the table is wrong and the esophagus is lined with non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelial cells only.) Cube gives it away too– cuboidal epithelium.
