trachea larynx.
Transcript text: Although stratified columnar epithelial tissue is considered rare throughout the human body, it may be found in the:
stomach \& small intestie
pharynx \& small intestine
larynx \& anal canal
trachea \& larynx .
Solution
The answer is the third one: larynx & anal canal.
Explanation for each option:
Stomach & small intestine: Stratified columnar epithelial tissue is not typically found in the stomach or small intestine. These areas are more commonly lined with simple columnar epithelium.
Pharynx & small intestine: Similar to the first option, the small intestine is lined with simple columnar epithelium, and the pharynx is usually lined with stratified squamous epithelium.
Larynx & anal canal: Stratified columnar epithelial tissue can be found in parts of the larynx and the anal canal, making this the correct answer.
Trachea & larynx: The trachea is lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium, not stratified columnar epithelium.
Summary:
Stratified columnar epithelial tissue is rare but can be found in the larynx and anal canal.
