Q.Identify and name the type of tissues in the following:

Step 1. (a) The inner lining of the intestine is a simple columnar epithelium — tall cells with a free-surface fringe of microvilli and interspersed mucus-secreting goblet cells, suited to absorption and secretion.

Step 2. (b) The heart wall is built chiefly of cardiac muscle, forming the myocardium — striated but involuntary fibres joined end to end by intercalated discs, letting the heart contract rhythmically as a unit.

Step 3. (c) The skin is covered by a stratified (compound) squamous epithelium — the epidermis — whose deepest layer divides to renew the tissue while its outer cells flatten, lose their nucleus and provide a tough protective covering. …

Match each named body location to the tissue type this chap …

• Naming 'epithelial tissue' alone for (a), (c) and (e) without specifying which sub-type (columnar / stratified squamous / ciliated) each location actually is.
• Confusing (b)'s cardiac muscle with skeletal muscle — the heart wall is specifically cardiac, not skeletal, muscle. …
