Choose which tissue would line the uterine (fallopian)tubes and function as a "conveyer belt" to help move a fertilized egg towards the uterus.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ciliated simple columnar epithelium are best suited for this function as the cilia on their surface create a "conveyer belt" effect, allowing for the movement of the fertilized egg towards the uterus. Smooth muscle is important for the contraction of the tubes but does not aid in the movement of the fertilized egg. Simple cuboidal and stratified squamous epithelium are not well-suited for this function.
