What type of membrane lines the thoracic walls and covers the lungs, and what is it called?
If you are given a prepared slide of fish gill tissue (gills are responsible for gas exchange between the fish and the surrounding water), would you expect to find simple squamous epithelium, stratified squamous epithelium, or simple columnar epithelium in the sample? (Choose one.) Explain your reasoning
Why is the pseudostratified epithelium of the respiratory tract ciliated while the same type of tissue in the digestive tract is not ciliated?

- Figure 33.11 Which of the following statements about types of epithelial cells is false? Simple columnar epithelial cells line the tissue of the lung. Simple cuboidal epithelial cells are involved in the filtering of blood in the kidney. Pseudostratisfied columnar epithilia occur in a single layer, but the arrangement of nuclei makes it appear that more than one layer is present. Transitional epithelia change in thickness depending on how full the bladder is.arrow_forwardThe structure in the lungs known as the respiratory membrane is where gases are exchanged -oxygen leaves the lungs and enters the blood, and carbon dioxide leaves the blood and enters the lungs. The respiratory membrane is composed of two extremly thin layers of simple squamous epithelium. Explain how the structure of the respiratory membrane follows its function.arrow_forwardA serous membrane is at this level of organization.arrow_forward
- Cells by the apical surface vary in appearance depending on the distension of the organ. When the organ is not stretched, the membrane is many layers and the superficial cells are rounded and dome shape. * Transitional epithelium O Muscle tissue Connective tissue Compound multicellular glands * Compound alveolar glands Compound coiled tubular glands Compound branched tubular glandsarrow_forwardIn the lungs of smokers, a process called metaplasia occurs in which the normal lining cells of the lung are replaced by squamous metaplastic cells (many layers of squamous epithelial cells). Functionally, why is this an undesirable body reaction to tobacco smoke? HINT Your answer should mention the structure and function of the normal lining cells of the lung.arrow_forwardWhat might you expect to see if the epithelial cells of the lung lacked basal bodies? they would be unable to undergo cell division mucus could not be efficiently cleared from the lung leading to increased risk of bacterial infection the cells would break apart when the lungs expand the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi would not be properly organized within the cells they would detach from the basal laminaarrow_forward
- The structure in the lungs known as the respiratory meme Dane is where the gases are exchanged - oxygen leaves the lungs and enters the blood, and carbon dioxide leaves the blood and enters the lungs.

Why are there no blood vessels in the tunica media of an elastic artery? Which is easier to see on the slide, the internal or external elastic lamina? Which layer stains more deeply, the tunica media or adventitia? What is the direction in which the smooth muscle cells of the tunica adventitia are oriented; parallel or perpendicular to the lumen of the vessel? What happens to the diameter of the vessel when the smooth muscle in its wall contracts? What main effect do endothelium, angiotensin II and norepinephrine have on…arrow_forwardSingle layers of flattened cells (simple squamous epithelium, in other words) are found wherever materials need to pass through them, such as in the kidney, or in the alveoli (air sacs) of our lungs. - What is the function of the simple squamous epithelium in our lungs?arrow_forward
