Cells are the basic building blocks of living
things. The human body is composed of

specialised function. Cells provide
structure for the body, take in nutrients

 How does the number of daughter cells produced
from mitosis and meiosis differ?
Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and
meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells,
whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.
Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two
nuclei that are usually partitioned into two new daughter

Letter C
cells. The nuclei resulting from a mitotic division are
genetically identical to the original nucleus. They have the
same number of sets of chromosomes, one set in the case
of haploid cells and two sets in the case of diploid cells. In
Bianca Contreras most plants and all animal species, it is typically diploid
cells that undergo mitosis to form new diploid cells. In
contrast, meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions
resulting in four nuclei that are usually partitioned into
four new haploid daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from
meiosis are not genetically identical and they contain one
Histo Lab

chromosome set only. This is half the number of

chromosome sets in the original cell, which is diploid.
 When do sister chromatids separate during
mitosis and meiosis?
A critical event for eukaryotic cells is the
correct segregation of sister chromatids to

Letter C opposite spindle poles (anaphase) during

mitosis. The cytoskeleton components and
mechanisms involved in chromosome
Bianca Contreras movement during this process, including
separation of sister chromatid
centromere/kinetochore regions, have been
extensively studied.

STRATIFIED EPITHELIAL TISSUES: Stratified Columnar

 Pseudostratified Columnar Ciliated
Found most heavily along the respiratory tract,
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells help trap

Letter E. and transport particles brought in through the nasal

passages and lungs.

Bianca Contreras These cells contain cilia on their apical surface. Cilia are
motile, beating in a synchronous rhythm to move fluid in a
constant direction.

 Transitional Epithelial Tissue
Transitional epithelium is a stratified tissue made of multiple
cell layers, where the cells constituting the tissue can change
shape depending on the distention in the organ. When the
organ is filled with fluid, cells on the topmost layer of this
epithelium can stretch and appear flattened. Alternately,

Letter E. they can also appear cuboidal with a rounded shape when
the fluid pressure is low.

Bianca Contreras This epithelium is found lining the urinary bladder, ureters
and urethra, as well as in the ducts of the prostrate gland.
Due to its location in the excretory system, especially in the
ureters and urinary bladder, one of the primary functions of
this tissue is to be an extremely effective permeability
barrier, impenetrable to water and most small molecules.

Claire Rayo
Enumerate the functions of
epithelial tissues
Epithelial tissues are found
all over the body. They cover
all body surfaces, line body
cavities and hollow organs,
and make up the majority of
gland tissue.
What are the distinguishing
features of keratinized
squamous?
The cells of the superficial
layer, the stratum corneum,
are anucleate, dead,
flattened squames that
gradually peel off the surface
of keratinized epithelia.
Compare and contrast simple
squamous from pseudostratified
epithelial tissues
The primary distinction between
simple stratified and pseudostratified
epithelial tissue is that simple epithelial
tissue has only one cell layer, whereas
stratified epithelial tissue has several
cell layers, and pseudostratified
epithelial tissue appears to have
several cell layers despite only having
one cell layer.
