Summary Introduction
To analyze: The reason for the transformation of the esophageal epithelial linings.
Introduction:
GERD is also known as acid reflux disease is a condition where the stomach acids or bile juice irritates the lining of the esophagus or food pipe. The epithelial tissue lining is affected because of the contact with the acidic nature of the stomach juices.

No substance can enter or leave the body without crossing an epithelium but epithelia vary in structure according to the function each serves. Contrast the epithelial type lining the intestines with the type lining the esophagus. For each, name the specific type and describe how its structure is perfectly suited to its function.
The structure in the lungs known as the respiratory membrane is where gases are exchanged -oxygen leaves the lungs and enters the blood, and carbon dioxide leaves the blood and enters the lungs. The respiratory membrane is composed of two extremly thin layers of simple squamous epithelium. Explain how the structure of the respiratory membrane follows its function.
Draw a labelled diagram of
A. Columnar epithelium
B. Stratified squamous epithelium
C. Transverse section of adipose tissue
D. Hyaline cartilage
