The structure of the tissue usually is optimized for its function, Describe how the structure of the mucosa and its cells match its function of nutrient absorption.
Compare and contrast the characteristics of the
ideal tissue forming the outer surface of the body
with that forming the lining of the small intestine.
How are they similar and different? What tissues
fulfill these needs?
According to the definition, structure and functions of epithelial tissues, the small intestine: * O O Has the same epithelium with the gallbladder (simple columnar), but not gland type Not unicellular,has a secretory portions and ducts that branch repeatedly Itis simple gland which their secretions are transported to the target site by the blood Considers a multicellular, tubular gland and belongs to simple glands with unbranched duct

- Crohn disease causes inflammatory reactions that damage the lining of the intestines. In areas where attacks are occurring, the inflammation can cause damage to the entire lining, so that the contents of the lumen of the intestine are exposed to, for example, the peritoneal cavity. Describe the layers that this inflammation would need to penetrate in order to damage the entire wall of the intestine. Inflammation begins at the epithelial lining.arrow_forwardThe Alimentary Canal is lined with Epithelium. For each section, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, indicate what type of Epithelial Tissue is present and what its function is beyond a functional barrier.arrow_forwardWhich is a correct statement about the Na+/K+ transporter (pump), and its cytology and cellular role? It is found the basal side of intestinal epithelial cells, pumping Na+ out of the cell into the blood. It is found on the plasma membrane of neurons, pumping Na+ into axons from the blood. It is found on the membrane of the lysosome, pumping K+ into the lumen of the lysosome. It is found on the apical side of intestinal epithelia, pumping K+ into the lumen of the intestine.arrow_forward

A plan diagram is a simple drawing showing only the boundaries between the lumen, the columnar epithelium, the (areolar) connective tissue, the circular smooth muscle and the longitudinal smooth muscle. A plan diagram serves to illustrate the location and relative thickness of the various tissue layers. 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 formulae used and calculations. 3. Add a scale bar with actual size next to your diagram. Give your drawing a descriptive title and record total magnification.

- A general principle of physiology is that structure is a determinant of—and has coevolved with—function. One example highlighted in this chapter is the large surface area provided by the villous and microvillous structure of the cells lining the small intestinearrow_forwardTissues in a pork chop, make a simple sketch and label the tissues. The bone is a connective layer and supportive tissue the, the lean meat is mostly made up of muscular tissue, the fat is another type of tissue, the white translucent plastic-like material that connects the bone to the lean meat, the lean meatto the fat and the fat to the skin is another type of connective and supportive tissue called the fibrous tissue. plssss help me sketch this and put the labels, thank you.arrow_forwardPut the following terms in their correct order from the simplest to the most complex.
