Yes, a semipermeable membrane selectively allows chemicals to be absorbed into the body. Epithelial tissue covers all parts of the body that has contact to the the outside environment including the gastric tract. One prime example of semipermeable epithelial tissue of the body is the tissue of the intestines which has folds exactly for the purpose of absorbing food.
What else can I help you with?
Epithelial cells are anchored to each other and to underlying tissues by a specialized membrane called the?
basement membrane
Can a epithelial tissue be called as semipermeable tissue?
Yes
What moves through a semipermeable membrane into an area of what concentration?
Water moves through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration. This is called osmosis.
Do epithelial tissues always exhibit polarity?
Yes, epithelial tissues typically exhibit polarity, with distinct apical and basal surfaces. The apical surface faces the external environment or a body cavity, while the basal surface is anchored to a basement membrane. This polarity allows for the specialized functions of epithelial cells, such as secretion and absorption.
What is a tissue that lines air passages?
They are called epithelial tissues. In air passage stratified epithelium is found
Epithelial cells are anchored to each other and to underlying tissues by a specialized membrane called the?
basement membrane
Can a epithelial tissue be called as semipermeable tissue?
Yes
Cleansing the blood via a semipermeable membrane is called?
semipermeable
A tough sheetlike membrane that covers and protects tissues are called?
The sheetlike membrane that covers and protects tissues is called the epithelium. Epithelial tissues can be found lining various body cavities, organs, and structures to provide protection and regulate the exchange of substances.
What moves through a semipermeable membrane into an area of what concentration?
Water moves through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration. This is called osmosis.
A membrane that allows some but not all materials to pass through it is called .?
This sort of membrane is said to be semipermeable.
Do epithelial tissues always exhibit polarity?
Yes, epithelial tissues typically exhibit polarity, with distinct apical and basal surfaces. The apical surface faces the external environment or a body cavity, while the basal surface is anchored to a basement membrane. This polarity allows for the specialized functions of epithelial cells, such as secretion and absorption.
What is a tissue that lines air passages?
They are called epithelial tissues. In air passage stratified epithelium is found
What is the release of waste or cell products called?
I think it is the semipermeable membrane
What is the semipermeable layer that surrounds all cells?
The semipermeable layer that surrounds all cells is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and acts as a barrier, controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
What is the tendency of a solvent to travel across a semipermeable membrane into area at higher solute concentration?
The tendency of a solvent to travel across a semipermeable membrane into an area with a higher solute concentration is called osmosis. It occurs in an attempt to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides of the membrane.
Which term describes the movements of water in and out of a cell?
The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.
