How is the function of epithelium reflected in its structure?
Since epithelium needs to serve as both a barrier and selectively permeable membrane, the cells need to be tightly junctioned to one another (thus prohibiting paracellular transport) and need to express channels, transporters or exchangers to allow for movement of selected ions/molecules across the epithelial barrier
Why is a barrier island important?
Barrier islands are created by different processes. Four known processes of barrier island formation are listed below. 1) Longshore drift is responsible for the creation of some barrier islands. Longshore drift carries sediment parallel to the shore. A sand spit will form if sediment supply is sufficient. The sand spit will increase in length with time and continued deposition of sediments from longshore drift. A large storm events may breach the spit and create and new tidal inlet in the sand spit which may cause the sand spit to break away from the mainland. When this occurs, a barrier island forms. 2) A slow rate of sea level rise may cause the inundation of aeolian beach dunes. The dunes form the base of the new barrier island. 3) A submerged offshore bar may emerge to form a barrier island. The original submerged bar was deposited by wave energy. 4) An abandoned delta may lead to the formation of a barrier island.
