simple cuboidal epithelium

Explanation:

Identify the highlighted structure

Using the Glomerular Capsule Histology knowledge point, the highlighted yellow circle outlines the parietal layer of a glomerular (Bowman's) capsule in the kidney cortex.

Determine the epithelial tissue type

Using the Simple Squamous Epithelium Locations knowledge point, the parietal layer of the glomerular capsule is composed of a single layer of flat, scale-like cells, which is classified as simple squamous epithelium.

Answer:

• stratified cuboidal epithelium
• stratified squamous epithelium
• simple squamous epithelium (Correct answer)
• simple cuboidal epithelium
