Question 50

Describe the structure and function of different types of epithelial tissues. Draw diagram of each type of epithelial tissue.

Answer 50

Epithelial tissues are the covering or protective tissues in the animal body. Epithelium covers most organs and cavities within the body and keep different body systems separate. The examples of epithelial tissue are the lining of blood vessels, skin, lung alveoli and kidney tubules , the lining of the mouth etc... Cells in epithelial tissue are tightly packed and form a continuous sheet. They have only a small amount of cementing material between them and almost no intercellular spaces. The permeability of various epithelial cells play an important role in regulating the exchange of materials between the body and the external environment and also between different parts of the body. Cells of all epithelium are usually separated from the underlying tissue by an extracellular fibrous basement membrane.

Epithelial tissues are of following types— (1) Simple squamous epithelium (2) Stratified squamous epithelium (3) Columnar epithelium, and (4) Cubodial epithelium. These tissues differ in structure that correlate with their unique functions. For example, we can see simple flat kind of epithelium in cells lining blood vessels or lung alveoli, where transportation of substances occurs through a selectively permeable surface. This is called the simple squamous epithelium. The cells of simple squamous epithelium are extremely thin and flat and form a delicate lining. The oesophagus ,skin, and the lining of the mouth are also covered with the squamous epithelium. Skin epithelial cells are arranged in many layers to prevent wear and tear. Since, they are arranged in layers, the epithelium is called stratified squamous epithelium.

Tall epithelial cells are present in region where secretion , absorption etc occur, as in the inner lining of the intestine. This columnar epithelium facilitatesmovement across the epithelial barrier. In the respiratory tract, the columnar epithelial tissue also has cilia, which are hair-like projections on the outer surfaces of epithelial cells. These cilia can move, and their movement pushes the mucus forward to clear it. This type of epithelium is thus ciliated columnar epithelium.

Cuboidal epithelium forms the lining of kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands, where it provides mechanical support. Some of the cuboidal or columnar cells are specialized for purpose of secretion and such cell is called glandular epithelium.

(d) Branches of a tree move and bend freely in high wind velocity.

(e) It is difficult to pull out the husk of a coconut tree.

Answer 52

(a) No need of storage.

(b) Because they are lignified.

(d) Presence of Collenchyma.

Question 53

List the characteristics of cork. How are they formed? Mention their role.

Answer 53

Characteristics

Cells of cork are dead at maturity
These cells are compactly arranged
Cells do not possess intercellular spaces.
Cells possess a chemical substances suberin in their walls
They are several layers thick.

b) As plants grow older, a strip of secondary meristem replaces the epidermis of the stem. Cells cut on the outer side by this meristem are called cork.
c) They are protective in function for older stem/twigs/branches.

They are impervious to gases and water.

Question 54

Why are xylem and phloem called complex tissues? How are they different from one other?

Answer 54

Both xylem and phloem consist of more than one type of cells, which coordinate to perform a common function.
