mucosa
The layer of the digestive tract that is composed of stratified and columnar epithelium is called the mucosa. This layer is responsible for absorbing nutrients from digested food and protecting the digestive tract from harmful substances.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. This lines the nasal cavity as well as the trachea. The oral cavity, as well as the pharynx, is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, due to obstructions from food.
The esophagus has a mucosa layer composed of stratified squamous epithelium that helps protect it from abrasion caused by the passage of food.
No, the thyroid gland is composed of simple cuboidal or simple columnar epithelium in its lining.
Human skin is primarily composed of stratified squamous epithelium. This type of epithelium consists of multiple layers of flat cells that provide protection and help prevent water loss.

Nervous tissue is not a true stratified tissue. It is composed of neurons and glial cells, and is classified as a specialized type of tissue rather than stratified based on cell layers.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium. This lines the nasal cavity as well as the trachea. The oral cavity, as well as the pharynx, is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, due to obstructions from food.
Most of the GI tract is composed of simple columnar epithelium. This type of epithelium is well-suited for secretion and absorption processes due to the presence of microvilli, which increase the surface area available for these functions.
The epidermis is primarily composed of stratified squamous epithelium. This type of epithelium is well-suited to protect the skin from physical damage and external threats.
The stratified squamous epithelium is composed of several layers. It is thick and well suited for its protective qualities and its surface cells are constantly being replaced. Simple columnar epithelium is just a single layer of closely packed cells. It lines the digestive tract from the stomach to the rectum. Therefore, the latter would not be best suited to protect your outside surface.

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium (ciliated form)
yes yes
No, the thyroid gland is composed of simple cuboidal or simple columnar epithelium in its lining.
"its in the protista family"not true. glands are composed of glandular epithelial tissue and lined with either simple or stratified cuboidal epithelium. glands lined with stratified cuboidal epithelium include: mammary, sweat, and salivary glands and the pancreas.
Human skin is primarily composed of stratified squamous epithelium. This type of epithelium consists of multiple layers of flat cells that provide protection and help prevent water loss.
