Vedclass · Answer

(C) The gallbladder is a hollow organ that stores bile produced by the liver.Its inner lining (mucosa) is composed of a single layer of tall,column-like cells known as simple columnar epithelium.These cells often possess microvilli on their apical surface,which increase the surface area for the absorption of water and electrolytes from the bile,thereby concentrating it.Therefore,the gallbladder is lined by simple columnar epithelium with microvilli.
