The lab TA was recently putting away prepared tissue slides after lab last week, when she accidentally dropped the slide holder spilling all the slides. As she was picking them all up, she notices that the labels had come off of two of the slides. Based on the remaining slides, she figured out that one slide is from the intestine and the other slide is from the esophagus. Based on their location in the body, how could you figure out which slide is which? For each location provide the following information:

The type of epithelium present.
The function of the above identified epithelium in that location.

Expert Solution

The esophagus tissue - The esophagus is a muscular tube that transports food from the pharynx to the stomach. It is lined by a stratified squamous epithelium and has a prominent muscularis mucosa and thick muscularis externa. The muscularis externa of the esophagus is unique in that it transitions from striated to smooth muscle over the length of the tube. The esophagus ends in the gastro-esophageal junction.

The intestine tissue - Enterocytes are the tall columnar epithelial cells that make up most of the intestinal lining and perform most of the intestinal digestive and absorptive functions.Goblet cells store and secrete mucous.Paneth cells serve an immune function and are found at the base of the crypts.Enteroendocrine cells produce hormones that govern motility and secretion, just as they do in the stomach.Stem cells replenish the other cell types and are found at the base of the crypts.

17:You are looking at some prepared slides of different types of animal tissue. Unfortunately, the labels are so old that they have faded to the point where you can no longer read them. All of these slides show tissue that form a long row with tight connections between the cells. These slides are showing examples of which type of tissue? A:Muscle tissue. B:Dermal tissue. C:Epithelial tissue. D:Connective tissue. 18:Which of the following is the best description of the difference between...

Until recently, Ms. Freemont, age 87, lived alone in a small apartment. Last week she suffered a slight stroke, after several days in the hospital, she is ready to be discharged. Her daughter, Ann, is very concerned that her mother is no longer capable of living alone, and handling all her housekeeping and personal needs. She shared her concerned with one of the nurses who cared for her mother during her hospital stay. Ann is very worried and fears she...

In our lab experiment, we filtered CaCl and CaOH2 solutions that we prepared the previous week and transferred both of the filtrates using a 25 ml pipette into two erlenmeyer flasks. We then prepared the standard HCl by pipeting 100 ml of HCl to prepare 250 ml of 0.04M HCl from the 0.1 M HCl solution that we initially had. We pipeted 100 ml of HCl into a 250 ml volumetric flask and diluted to the mark. The buret was...

Toby wants to calculate her COGS for a fertilizing job she did last week. She used 40 pounds of fertilizer that she bought in bulk ($1,000 for 2,000 pounds). It took her employee 1.5 hours to spread the fertilizer (she is paid $15/hour) with the motorized spreader. Toby paid $4,000 for the spreader three years ago and it is estimated to last 10 years or 10,000 pounds. To get to the job site, a company truck and trailer was used...
