B) The function of psuedostratified columnar epithelial tissue in the respiratory passages is to move mucus and debris from the passageways.
C) The cells of simple squamous epithelial tissue contain many secretory vesicles filled with mucous and are therefore the most highly resistant to irritations.
D) Cells that are responsible for secretion or absorption are larger because they contain more organelles to support their function.
