THE EPITHELIUM LINING THE UTERUS IS Select one: pseudostratifiec I ciliated stratified squamous non -keratinized simple cuboidal simple squamous simple columnar

The correct answer is simple columnar.<br /><br />The epithelium lining the uterus is simple columnar epithelium. This type of epithelium consists of a single layer of tall, narrow cells that are arranged in a columnar shape. The cells are typically cuboidal in shape and have microvilli on their apical surface, which increase the surface area for absorption and secretion.<br /><br />Simple columnar epithelium is found in various parts of the body, including the lining of the uterus (endometrium), the digestive tract, and the respiratory tract. In the uterus, the simple columnar epithelium is specialized for absorption and secretion of nutrients and other substances during pregnancy.
