Textbook Question
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?
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.

- Make a plan drawing of the cross section (Figure 2). A plan drawing 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. No cellular details are necessary in the plan drawing. There should be no more detail than is shown in Figure 2. Please note that many slides do NOT have serosa on them. Keep in mind that your drawing must reflect the image you saw in the lab under the microscope. Label the following structures in your diagram: Longitudinal smooth muscle, Columnar epithelial tissue, Circular smooth muscle, Villi, Areolar connective tissue, and Lumen. Calculate the actual size for the width of the intestine. Include the formula and calculations. Include a scale bar in your drawing. Then show your calculation for your drawing magnification.
