Concept explainers
(a)
To describe: The type of epithelium tissue that lines the lumen of the stomach.
Introduction
Epithelial tissues are a group of specialized tissues that cover internal and external surfaces and are the major tissue in the glands. The body contains a variety of epithelial tissues. They make up the majority of the tissue in glands, line body cavities and hollow organs, and cover all of the body's surfaces. Protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception are just some of the many tasks they carry out.
(b)
To describe: The types of epithelium tissue that line the Oral cavity.

(d)
To describe: The types of epithelium tissue that line The air sacs (alveoli of the lungs)
