The structure of the tissue usually is optimized for its function, Describe how the structure of the mucosa and its cells match its function of nutrient absorption.
Compare and contrast the characteristics of the
ideal tissue forming the outer surface of the body
with that forming the lining of the small intestine.
How are they similar and different? What tissues
fulfill these needs?
According to the definition, structure and functions of epithelial tissues, the small intestine: * O O Has the same epithelium with the gallbladder (simple columnar), but not gland type Not unicellular,has a secretory portions and ducts that branch repeatedly Itis simple gland which their secretions are transported to the target site by the blood Considers a multicellular, tubular gland and belongs to simple glands with unbranched duct
