Summary Introduction
To discuss:
How the small intestinal epithelial cell structures that are viewed in SEM contribute to their specialized functions of nutrient absorption, and to explain how they act as a barrier between intestinal contents and the blood supply on the other side of the cell sheet.
Introduction:
Several layers such as the serous coat, the muscular coat, the outer longitudinal and inner circular linings, and the sub mucous coat are present in the small intestine.

- When William H. was helping victims after a devastating earthquake in a region not prepared to swiftly set up adequate temporary shelter, he developed severe diarrhea. He was diagnosed as having cholera, a disease transmitted through unsanitary water supplies contaminated by fecal material from infected indiv iduals. The toxin produced by cholera bacteria causes Cl- channels in the lurninal membranes of the intestinal cells to stay open, thereby increasing the secretion of Cl- from the cells into the intestinal tract lumen. By what mechanisms would Na+ and water be secreted into the lumen in conjunction with Cl- secretion? How does this secretory response account for the severe diarrhea that is characteristic of cholera?arrow_forwardIf a sheet of epithelial cells is lining the stomach, what type of cell-cell junction might be present between neighboring epithelial cells to keep the stomach contents from passing between cells?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true about the peroxisome?

- Which organelle carries out cell respiration? Each of these organelles has two membranes—a liquid portion and folded, sheet-like membrane structures. What are the names of these four components?arrow_forwardThe plasma membrane isa. a carbohydrate layer that surrounds groups of cells to protect them.b. a double lipid layer with proteins inserted in it, which surrounds every cell individually.c. a thin sheet of structural proteins that encloses cytoplasm.d. composed of proteins that form a protective barrier.arrow_forwardWhen food is digested, it passes through the alimentary canal, or the gastrointestinal tract, beginning at the mouth and ending at the anus. 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_forward
- The cells lining the small intestine rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. Using this information which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells? a) simple diffusion b) phagocytosis c) active transport pump d) exocytosis e) Facilitated diffusionarrow_forwardThe 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.
