Vedclass · Answer

(B) The tissue described is cuboidal epithelium.Statement $I$ is correct: It consists of a single layer of cube-like cells.Statement $II$ is correct: It is commonly found in the ducts of glands and the tubular parts of nephrons in the kidneys.Statement $III$ is correct: The primary functions of cuboidal epithelium are secretion and absorption.Statement $IV$ is incorrect: The epithelium of the proximal convoluted tubule $(PCT)$ in the nephron has microvilli,not cilia. Cilia are found in ciliated epithelium,whereas microvilli are characteristic of the $PCT$ to increase the surface area for absorption.Therefore,statements $I, II,$ and $III$ are correct.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$P$. Tight junctions	$I$. Stop substances from leaking across a tissue
$Q$. Adhering junctions	$II$. Perform cementing to keep neighbouring cells together
$R$. Gap junctions	$III$. Facilitate the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells,for rapid transfer of ions,small molecules and sometimes big molecules
