Mary took a whole jar of calcium chews thinking they were gummies. How would her body respond?

A. transitional epithelium - specialized for stretch: This is correctly matched. Transitional epithelium lines the urinary bladder and stretches to accommodate urine volume changes.

B. pseudostratified epithelium - multiple layers for protection: This is mismatched. Pseudostratified epithelium appears to have multiple layers due to nuclei at different levels, but all cells touch the basement membrane, so it is a single layer and not primarily for protection.

C. simple cuboidal - found in kidneys, glands, liver: Correctly matched. Simple cuboidal epithelium is commonly found in these organs and is involved in secretion and absorption.

D. keratinized stratified squamous - epidermis of skin: Correctly matched. This type of epithelium forms the outer layer of skin and provides protection against abrasion and water loss.

A. in the medullary cavity of a long bone
In adults, the medullary cavity contains yellow marrow, not red marrow.

B. in the epiphysis of a flat bone
Flat bones (e.g., skull) don’t have epiphyses. This answer is anatomically inaccurate.

C. in the medullary cavity of a flat bone
Flat bones don’t have a true medullary cavity. Red marrow is found in their spongy bone, not in a central cavity.

D. in the epiphysis of a long bone
Red marrow in adults is found in the spongy bone of the epiphyses of long bones and in flat bones like the sternum and pelvis.

E. in the epiphyseal plate of a long bone
The epiphyseal plate is made of cartilage, not marrow. It is involved in growth, not hematopoiesis.
