They are elongated and column shaped. The nuclei are elongated and and usually found towards the base of the cells. They form the lining of the stomach and intestines. They secrete mucus to keep the surface smooth. Ciliated Columnar Epithelium are simple columnar epithelial cells but they have fine, hair like cilia on their free surfaces.
The kidney is surrounded by a capsule membrane, each of these membranes are topped by the conical adrenal gland. Both the kidneys and adrenal glands are coated in adipose tissue. Gross anatomy When the kidney is presented in a longitudinal section it displays an outer darker cortex and an inner paler medulla. The composition of the medulla is made up of cone shaped pyramids known as medullay pyramids, the tip of these cones are pointed into the area where the ureter connects the kidney. “The medulla is further divided into numerous sections called the medullary pyramids.”This region is known as the pelvis of the kidney.
The skin is the largest organ of the body – accounting for about 16 per cent of a person’s weight and has a surfaces area of 1,5 to 2 square meter. Parker (2007, p. 146) provide following definition:’’ The skin is not simply a thin, waterproof covering for a human body, but it is a complex organ consisting of number of specialised cells.’’ Skin performs vital role as both a barrier and a regulating between the outside world and the controlled environment within our bodies. Structure of the skin Epidermis Dermis Subcutaneous fat 1. Skin has got two main structural layers. The epidermis is the most superficial layers of the skin.
The pH of the stomach is 1-2 this is strongly acid. The epithelial lining contains goblet cells which help the stomach from eroding. The inner layer of the stomach is known as the mucosa, and is made of mucus membrane, this protects the stomach from being digested. Areolar Tissue- This tissue cushions and protects organs, connecting different tissues and supporting blood vessels. It’s the most common tissue in the body.
They are the largest member of the dolphin family. The Orca's skin is mostly black with white patches. Orcas have huge bodies and a rounded head with a distinctive beak. They have a tall, sickle-shaped dorsal fin and large, paddle-like flippers. The dorsal fin of the male is taller (up to 6 ft tall) and more upright than that of the female (whose dorsal fin is up to 4 ft tall).
These types of glands are simple alveolar glands that are found all over the body except for areas likes the palms and soles. They are found to be quite small on the body trunk yet large on areas like the face, neck and upper chest. These glands secrete sebum which is an oily secretion. The central cells of the alveoli accumulate only lipids until they become so engorged that they burst which makes the sebaceous gland a holocrine gland. Sebum is secreted into areas like the hair follicles or the pores on the skin surface.
There were 30 legions in the entire army, each legion having around 5000 men. That is a fighting force of about 150000 men over all. The fact that they could keep them organized is really extraordinary. The officer in charge of the legion was called a legate. Each legion was divided into ten groups called cohorts and these cohorts were divided into six centuries of about 80 men.
It’s been recorded that a researcher found a nest that weighed two tons. The many fascinating things about eagles are plentiful; they can fly to an altitude of 10, 000 feet and reach high speeds of 30 to 35 mph. Eagles soar above the storm clouds. The eagle can dive at speeds over 100 mph. I have also realized in my reading and researching that the eagle can actually swim.
The third type of squamous tissue is transitional, this is grouped with the stratified. This is found in the bladder or uterus & is designed to withstand the action of urine. Columnar or glandular – These are single layered cylindrical shaped cells. These cells secrete mucous which assist with lubricating the oesophagus to help with passing of food. These cells are found lining food passages.
Both the second dorsal fin and the second anal fin are very small and set back. The color varies from gray to blue on the body and paler blue below almost to a white belly. This fish lakes scales, teeth and has very large eyes. Swordfish are very large. Today, the average size caught commercial weights between 90 to 150 kilograms.
