Question

PCT of nephron in kidneys is lined by

A SUBRAMANYAM · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: D
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Tissue types and their location in the kidney
	**Related Topics**: Epithelial tissue, nephron anatomy, kidney histology
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of histology and kidney structure.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	* Question asks about the type of tissue lining the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) of the nephron.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the tissue type associated with PCT: Simple cuboidal epithelium is the tissue lining the PCT.
		Reasoning: This is a fact-based recall from histology.
	2. Identify the correct option: Option D matches the tissue type.
		Result: Simple cuboidal epithelium.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Compound epithelium is multi-layered and not found in the PCT.
[B] :x: Simple columnar ciliated epithelium is found in other parts of the body but not typically in the PCT.
[C] :x: Dense regular connective tissue is not an epithelial tissue and is not found in the nephron lining. 
[D] ✓: Simple cuboidal epithelium is the correct tissue lining the PCT, facilitating absorption and secretion.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing different types of epithelial tissues. [How to avoid]: Review the characteristics of each type (simple vs. stratified, squamous vs. cuboidal vs. columnar).
		2.[Error 2]: Incorrectly associating tissue types with specific locations in the kidney. [How to avoid]: Study the histology of the kidney and different nephron parts.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: Remember that simple cuboidal epithelium is often associated with secretion and absorption, which are major functions of the PCT.
		2.[Memory aid]: Visualize a cuboidal shape when thinking about the PCT lining.
