Statement 1 - Compound epithelial covers the dry surface of skin, inner lining of pancreatic duct and ducts of salivary glands.
Statement 2 - Compound epithelial mainly gives protection against mechanical and chemical stresses.
Statement 1 and statement 2 both are right.
Statement 1 is wrong , statement 2 is right.
Statement 2 is wrong , statement 1 is right.
Both the statements are wrong
Compound epithelial is multilayered and has limited roles in absorption and secretion. They mainly gives protection against chemical and mechanical stresses. That's why they cover the dry surface of skin, inner lining of pancreatic duct and ducts of salivary glands.
Option a is the correct answer.
