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.

Think of a 29- den hose that winds through your body, help- ing you break down food into nutrients-the basic materials your body needs. Do you chew your food thoroughly? Your mouth and teeth are specially designed to chop and chew food. Then the food passes through a tube about ten inches long called the esophagus. A series of wave-like muscle contractions automatically moves the food along the digestive tract. This is called peristalsis. Your stomach secretes juices that continue to break down the food particles. Contractions in the stomach push the food into the upper intestine, or small intes- tine. When you get to be an adult, your stomach will hold about 1/2 gallon (2 quarts) of food! food moving. down the esophagus Directions: Write T for true or F for false before each statement. 1.
