Summary Introduction

To sketch: A diagram of columnar epithelial cells with labeled apical and basolateral borders of the cells.

Introduction: Epithelial cells form the outer covering of all the parts of the body. Arrangement of these cells forms epithelial tissues. These tissues have been divided into various types of the basis of their structure and functions.

Summary Introduction

To determine: A brief explanation about various types of junctions present on the columnar epithelial cells.

Introduction: On the basis of structure, the epithelial tissues which have columnar cells are known as columnar epithelial tissues. The cells of these tissues are called columnar epithelial cells. Various cell junctions are present in these cells important for structural and functional support to the cell.

Epithelial sheets are classified by their number of cell layers and their cell shape. In the  following table, draw simplified illustrations of the eight classifications. In each illustration,  identify the cells, nuclei, and basement membrane. For the stratified epithelia, you only need to  draw two or three cell layers, as shown in the stratified cuboidal epithelium example provided in  the table. Simple squamous Stratified squamous  Simple cuboidal Stratified cuboidal  Simple columnar Stratified columnar  Pseudostratified columnar Transitional
What is the Calculated size of 1 cell of simple cuboidal epithelium. Show work including units.
Match the following letters to the designated number. Please make sure to answer all 5 numbers Cell junctions of epithelium  Description Function 1. Gap junction A. extensive bands a. dissipates physical forces 2. tight junction B. ring of plasma membrane b. anchor cells together 3. Adherens C. half zonula adherens c. cell communication 4. Desmosomes D. intercellular cement  d. anchor cells to the basal lamina 5. Hemidesmosomes E. half macula adherens e. prevents organ content from leaking   F. bridge by transmembrane f. resist separation   G. linked by transmembrane glycoproteins g. contact points   the answer should be for example: 1.
