What else can I help you with?
The brush border is located in the?
The brush border is located on the surface of microvilli which are found on the apical surface of epithelial cells lining the small intestine and kidney tubules. It increases the surface area for absorption of nutrients and ions.
Where is epithelial tissue in the stomach?
Epithelial tissue in the stomach can be found lining the inner surface of the stomach, forming a protective barrier against stomach acid and digestive enzymes. This tissue is made up of specialized cell types that help with secretion, absorption, and protection.
What specific type of tissue are found in the inner lining of the stomach?
The Mucosa tissue and the goblet cells are the type of tissue that are found in the inner lining of the stomach.
What quadrant does pain from a stomach ulcer occur in?
Stomach ulcers are located in the upper left quadrant. Stomach ulcers are painful sores that are found in the small intestine or stomach lining.
Where cell has the largest surface area?
Cells with the largest surface area are typically found in specialized structures like the small intestine. The cells lining the small intestine have microvilli, which greatly increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients. These cells are specifically adapted to maximize their contact with nutrients in the digestive system.
What is the difference between a villi and microvilli?
Both are found inside the small intestine, are microscopic, and are used to increase the surface area of the small intestine. Villi are tiny microscopic folds in the small intestine lining. Microvilli are little hairlike projections from individual epithelial cells of the small intestine. They have capillaries and a lacteal that lead to the circulatory and lymph systems to transport nutrients that are absorbed.
Where are Delta cells found in humans?
They can be found in the stomach, intestine and the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.
Is villi completely smooth?
No, villi are not completely smooth. They are finger-like projections found in the lining of the small intestine that increase the surface area for nutrient absorption. This increased surface area helps in the efficient absorption of nutrients from digested food.
Where is protease found in your body?
I just had an assignment on this, protease is released from the pancreas and breaks down proteins in your stomach along with pepsin and rennin which are released from the stomach glands protease comes from the pancreas
Where is simple epithelium found in the body?
Simple epithelium is found lining surfaces where exchange of materials occur, such as the lining of blood vessels (endothelium), the alveoli of the lungs (alveolar epithelium), and the small intestine (simple columnar epithelium). It is also present in areas involved in absorption and secretion, like kidney tubules and the lining of the small intestine.
What does the enzyme pepsin digest?
Pepsin is an enzyme produced in the stomach that primarily digests proteins into smaller peptides. It works optimally in the acidic environment of the stomach, breaking down protein molecules into smaller fragments that can be further digested by other enzymes in the small intestine.
How are gastric ulcers produced and where are they usually found?
Overproduction of gastric acid can occasionally eat a hole through the stomach wall. These gastric ulcers are rare. Gastric ulcers, which are less common, usually occur along the upper curve of the stomach.
