Q

What sort of advantages or disadvantages can you think of to have different levels of organization?

A

Advantage:
- specialization in cells increasing the efficiency in tasks
- provides the body with the greater complexity and functionality without a multicellular organisms, leading to increased survival and reproductive success

Disadvantage: complexity/ energy requirement
= higher energy requirement

Q

Layers of the skin

A

Epidermis (w/ little to no extracellular matrix) :
- a top layer of the body
- protects the body from the external environment
(the biggest protection of all organs)

Dermis (separates other tissue types)
- the layer of skin that lies beneath the epidermis
- support & protect the epidermis and deeper layer, assist in thermoregulation

Q

Identify the organ system that the duodenum is part of and layers of the duodenum

A

Digestive system,

Layers:
1) mucosa
- absorbs nutrients
- protects tisuses from stomach acid
2) submucosa
- secretes mucus rich in sodium bicarbonate, chemical that helps neutralize stomach acids
3) muscular layer
- contracts to move food through the intestine
4) serosa
- provides a barrier to other organs

20
Q

What special surface features are found on the epithelial cells facing the lumen and what is their main funtions?

A

Microvilli: increasing surface areas for absorbtion and secretion
cillia: for the movement to sweep out the dust, mucus and debris

21
Q

What are some other organs that have a lumen?

A

The esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon

  7. proximal
  8. distal
  9. superficial
  10. deep
  11. parietal
