In the histological specimen, lobules and ducts of the pancreas are visible. The common duct of the gland is lined with epithelium:
A
single-layer prismatic
B
single layer flat
C
multi-row
D
multilayer non-keratinizing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The histological observations revealed that the pancreas was formed of lobules of serous acini. The secretory acinus unit was appearing as a single spherical mass composed of many serous cells surrounding narrow lumen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The stratified cuboidal epithelium that lines the pancreatic and sweat gland ducts serves as their inner lining. Typically, this kind of epithelium is present, protecting the ducts of numerous glands.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pancreatic ducts are lined by columnar cells with luminal microvilli and glycocalyx and small apical cytoplasmic mucin droplets.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pancreas is a elongated organ, light tan or pinkish in color, that lies in close proximity to the duodenum. It is covered with a very thin connective tissue capsule which extends inward as septa, partitioning the gland into lobules.
