To predict: The problems that might arise if tight junctions did not connect the cells lining the small intestine. Introduction: In a multicellular organism, cells are linked to each other by specialized structures called cell junctions. Three types of junctions are found between cells in animals. These are anchoring junctions, tight junctions and gap junctions.

Objective: Drawing a plan diagram of a frog intensine viewed under a microscope, as well as calculating actual size and drawing magnification of the width of the intestine. Please see the attached microscopic image of the frog intestine when viewed under the microscope, and an example labeled drawing of the intestine. I approximated that 3-4 cells would fit across (frog intenstine is much smaller when viewed under microscope, photo taken appears much longer). DO THE FOLLOWING BELOW STEPS: You need to complete a drawing. Please don't submit wrong answer. 1. Draw a plan diagram and label the following: • Longitudinal smooth muscle • Columnar epithelial tissue • Circular smooth muscle • Villi • Areolar connective tissue • Lumen 2. Calculate actual size and drawing magnification of the width of the intestine. Include formula used and calculations. 2. Add a scale bar with actual size next to the diagram. 3. Give the drawing a descriptive title and record total magnification.
