- Q1The surface of the stomach is lined with epithelial cells called surface mucous cells. These cells produce a thick mucus that coats the epithelium on the inside surface of the stomach. What is the purpose of the mucous coating?It traps nutrients inside the epithelium as food passes through the stomachIt causes the epithelium to expand as food enters the stomachIt protects the epithelium from the acid content of the stomachIt allows the epithelium to aid in the process of digestion30sB.5.B: Specialized Cells
- Q2The table lists and describes three types of cells from prepared slides that students observed with a microscope. Which of these sets of slides could students have used for their observations?Squamous cell: red blood cell, Erythrocyte: white blood cell, Gamete: sperm cellSquamous cell: ovum, Erythrocyte: white blood cell, Gamete: skin cellSquamous cell: cheek cell, Erythrocyte: red blood cell, Gamete: sperm cellSquamous cell: cheek cell, Erythrocyte: skin cell, Gamete: ovum30sB.5.B: Specialized Cells
- Q3The table below lists the types of white blood cells found in humans, indicates how abundant they are, and describes their functions.
