Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
It is the layer of the epithelium that is exposed to the inner cavity of an organ.
A
apical surface
B
basal layer
C
basement membrane
D
matrix
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mesothelium is a simple squamous epithelium that forms the surface layer of the serous membrane that lines body cavities and internal organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The epithelial tissue possesses a free surface or apical surface that is exposed to the external environment and a basal surface or attached surface that rests on the basal connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -The apical surface of epithelial cells, which lines the lumen of sac-and tube-shaped organs and the inner surfaces of the body cavities, forms the interface between the extracellular milieu and underlying tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -In general, endothelium lines fully internal pathways, such as your vascular system (i.e. blood vessels) and cornea. Mesothelium lines your major body cavities, such as the peritoneum (abdomen cavity), pleura (lung cavity) and pericardium (heart cavity). Mesothelium secretes a lubricant film called serous fluid.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct answer is ‘Ciliated epithelium’
