comparing the structure and function of
the tissue in the air sacs of the lungs and
epidermal tissue.
O Air sacs of the lungs are lined with elastic
cartilage to allow for expansion and
contraction of the lobes of the lungs. The
epidermis is composed of stratified
squamous connective tissue serving as a
protective barrier.
Air sacs of the lungs are lined with stratified
squamous epithelium to allow for expansion
and contraction of the lobes of the lungs.
The epidermis is composed of muscle tissue
serving as a mechanism for movement and
a protective barrier.
Air sacs of the lungs are lined with ciliated
pseudostratified columnar epithelium with
goblet cells. The goblet cells produce mucus
to trap debris and the cilia move it away
from the lungs. The epidermis is simple
squamous epithelium serving as a
protective barrier.
O Air sacs of the lungs are lined with simple
squamous epithelium that serves as a thin
membrane for gas exchange. The epidermis
is stratified squamous epithelium serving as
a protective barrier.
