Question
Chapter 3, Problem 23CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the intestinal epithelium cell which releases its secretion into the extracellular fluid is an endocrine cell or exocrine cell.
Introduction: A bunch of secretory cells combines to form endocrine or exocrine glands. When the embryo is developing, epithelial cells grow and attach to connective tissues beneath it. After development, exocrine cells remain attached to the connective cells whereas endocrine glands detach and release hormones directly into the blood.

Which 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.
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 intestine
Will a fat cell have a more or less developed rough endoplasmic reticulum than a pancreatic cell? Why?

As it travels it gets broken down into smaller and smaller macromolecules until they are small enough to be absorbed into the lining of the GI tract. What cells would you not expect to find in the lining of the GI tract?arrow_forwardPut the following terms in their correct order from the simplest to the most complex. Skin cell, Integumentary system , Epithelial tissue, Stem cell , Skin, Organism The stomach produces hydrochloric acid which increases the acidity of the stomach to digest the food. However, the small intestine are not damaged by strongly acidic food coming from the stomach. How does our body avoids damaging the small intestine with this strongly acidic food passes out of the stomach?arrow_forward
- 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_forwardWhat is Principal types of cell junctions connecting thecolumnar epithelial cells lining the small intestine.arrow_forwardThe single layer of columnar epithelial cells lining the small intestine has a brush border of microvilli.
