Which ofthe following types of epithelium lines the oropharynx? A) pseudostatiied columnar 8) simple columnar ©) simple cuboidal D) simple squamous E) stratified squamous [Gtearanswer) Hide Explanation [The comect answer is (E).A stralified squamous epithelium consists of squamous (flatiened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basement jembrare. Only one layer is in contact wth the basement membrane; the other layers adhare to one another to maintain structural integrity. Although nis epithelium is referred to as squamous, many cells within the layers may not be fattened: this is due to the convention of naming epitnelia sccording to the cell type at the surface. In the deeper layers, the cells may be columnar or cuboidal. The oropharynxis lined by stratfied squamous feithelium. This type of epithelium is well suited to areas in the body subject to constant abrasion. as itis the thickest and layers can be sequentially joughed off and replaced before the basement membrane is exposed.

The deltcic muscie is the muscle which givas the shouidsr its rounded shape. This muscle is responsible for the .bduction of the shoulder and some of the rotation of the arm or limb. In humans, the Geltoids are a common target of weight training, with people gaging in activtice like proscos to develop and sirengthen thair deltoids. In people with very well defined musculature and low sody fat, the deltoid Js often highly visible on the shoulder and upper arm. This muscle has three neads.
