Question

Your esophagus is lined by a stratified epithelium. Explain why stratified epithelium is more useful in this location than a simple epithelium. Which type of epithelium (i.e. structural category) would most closely resemble a row of bricks placed side-by-side touching along their longest dimension? Give an example (location) of animal tissue/organ with this arrangement. Why does loose connective tissue meet the general definition of connective tissue, i.e. what did you observe in the slide of areolar tissue that gives support to this classification as a connective tissue?

Explanation / Answer

1. Stratified epithelium : a. In some body locates and other forces dictate lining epithelium be more protection.

2. Columnar epithelium : It contains vertically arranged cylindrical or brick-like cells. It is generally found in the inner lining of the stomach and intestines

3. Loose connective tissue is a one type of connective tissue which include areolar tissue is most common type found in vertebrates.

They are not tough and surrounds blood vessels and provide support of internal organs
