Chapter 49.2, Problem 1CS

Core Skill: Connections In what other organ is a brush border found (refer back to Figure 46.6)? What general conclusions can you draw about the function of such specialized epithelia?

Chapter 49.2, Problem 1CS, Core Skill: Connections In what other organ is a brush border found (refer back to Figure 46.6)?

Figure 46.6 The specialized arrangement of tissues in the small intestine. The inner surface of the small intestine is folded into numerous villi, which increase the surface area for digestion and absorption. Within each villus are capillaries and a lymphatic vessel called a lacteal, into which absorbed nutrients are transported. The epithelial cells of the villi have extensions from their surface called microvilli. The microvilli constitute the brush border of the intestine and greatly add to the total surface area.

Draw a plan diagram of the frog intestine viewed under the microscope (see attached images for help!!).... A plan diagram is a simple drawing showing only the boundaries between the lumen, the columnar epithelium, the (areolar) connective tissue, the circular smooth muscle and the longitudinal smooth muscle. A plan diagram serves to illustrate the location and relative thickness of the various tissue layers. 1. Draw a plan diagram and label the following: • Longitudinal smooth muscle • Columnar epithelial tissue • Circular smooth muscle • Villi • Areolar connective tissue • Lumen 2. Calculate actual size and drawing magnification of the width of the intestine. Include formulae used and calculations. 3. Add a scale bar with actual size next to your diagram. Give your drawing a descriptive title and record total magnification.  Attached are an example plan diagram labelled, as well as a microscopic image of the frog intestine (3-4 cells should fit across only) PLEASE DO THE DRAWING AND…
