Question

Match List I with List II:

List I		List II
A	Unicellular glandular epithelium	I	Salivary glands
B	Compound epithelium	II	Pancreas
C	Multicellular glandular epithelium	III	Goblet cells of alimentary canal
D	Endocrine glandular epithelium	IV	Moist surface of buccal cavity

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• C. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
• D. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To align List I with List II, knowledge of diverse glandular epithelium types and their functions is necessary. The connections are as follows:

1. Unicellular glandular epithelium: Single-cell glands, exemplified by goblet cells in the alimentary canal. Match: A to III.
2. Compound epithelium: Multilayered epithelium providing protection, found in the buccal cavity. Match: B to IV.
3. Multicellular glandular epithelium: Complex glands formed by multiple cells, such as salivary glands. Match: C to I.
4. Endocrine glandular epithelium: Ductless glands secreting hormones into circulation, like the pancreas. Match: D to II.

The established pairings are: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
