Chapter 5, Problem 1.1CT

The cells lining the inside of the cheek are frequently removed for making observations of basic cell structure. The cells are from stratified squamous epithelium. Explain why these cells are used instead of outer body surface tissue.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The epidermis is keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.  Explain why that epithelium is much better suited for protecting the body's external surface than a mucosa consisting of a simple columnar epithelium would be.
What is the difference of the following tissues?  Simple squamous epithelium Simple cuboidal epithelium Simple columnar non-ciliated Simple columnar ciliated Stratified squamous keratinized/ cornified Stratified squamous non-keratinized/ non cornified Stratified cuboidal epithelium Stratified columnar epithelium Pseudo-stratified ciliated Pseudo-stratified non-ciliated
The ratio of cells to extracellular matrix is a major difference between epíthelial tissues and connective tissues. What relationship between epithelial tissues and connective tissues is important for the survival and function of epithelial tissues? The thick, pink-staining fibers that you are viewing on the photograph are what type of fiber? The very fine, dark-staining (blue purple) fibers are what type of fiber? Most of the cells that you see are fibroblasts. They can be identified by the dark-staining nuclei scattered throughout the specimen. The cytoplasm of these cells stains weakly and cannot be easily identified. Refer to your text and describe the function of these cells. Lack of vitamin Cin the diet interferes with the ability of fibroblasts to produce collagen. How might this affect connective tissue function? rords DFocus
