- I. Chloe is a chemical manufacturing company worker in her early 50. After few days of being exposed to a toxic chemical she suffered from kidney failure. A biopsy of her kidney indicated that many of the thousand of epithelium-lined tubules that make up the kidney had lost the layer of simple cuboidal epithelial cells that normally line them, although the basement membranes appeared to be mostly intact. Predict how likely she can fully recover. II. Urinary bladder is made of transitional epithelium. What is the functional importance of this?arrow_forwardThe main function of the transitional epithelium in the ureter is (a) not the same as that of the transitional epithelium in the bladder, (b) protection against kidney stones, (c) secretion of mucus, (d) resorption, (e) stretching.arrow_forwardWhat are the functions of the urinary system in the human body, and how do the anatomical structures of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra contribute to the formation, storage, and elimination of urine?arrow_forward
