Question

The epithelium lining the stomach, small intestine, and most of the large intestine is simple columnar; the epithelium in the oral cavity, esophagus, and pharynx is stratified squamous. Are these two statements true or false?

a) The first statement is false; the second is true.
b) Both statements are false.
c) The first statement is true; the second is false.
d) Both statements are true.

Answer 1

D. Both statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple columnar epithelium has just a layer which lines the digestive parts such as the stomach ,small intestine and large intestine.

The stratified squamous epithelium also has a single layer but with a flat surface.It lines the oral cavity.This structure is most suitable for movement of particles through the surface which could be through diffusion or filtration.
