GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The fallopian tube (FT) is composed of three layers, and the innermost mucosa is a simple columnar epithelium consisting of basal, ciliated, and secretory cells [1]. The ciliated cells can facilitate the transport of gametes and mucus secreted by mucosal epithelium [2, 3].

Detailed explanation-2: -Ciliated columnar epithelial cells are found mainly in the tracheal and bronchial regions of the pulmonary system and also in the fallopian tubes of the female reproductive system.

Detailed explanation-3: -In bronchial tube and fallopian tubes ciliated columnar epithelium are present. In fallopian tubes ciliated columnar epithelium is present but in female urethra pseudo stratified epithelium is present. Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Detailed explanation-4: -The main function of ciliated cells in the fallopian tube is to transport the ovum from the ovary toward the uterus and help to remove genotoxic stress after ovulation [34, 35].

Detailed explanation-5: -Structure of the human Fallopian tube epithelium Ciliated cells are found predominantly on the apex of the mucosal folds (Ferenczy et al., 1972; Patek, 1974). At the base of each cilium is a basal body from which the cilium originates.
