Question: what type of epithelial tissue is most likely to be found lining the respiratory passageway?
Answer: Most of the respiratory passageways, from the nasal cavity through the bronchi, are lined by ciliated, pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells. Bronchioles are lined by simple cuboidal epithelium. (Lung alveoli, in contrast, are lined by very thin simple squamous epithelium.)
