Climate and Weather. Letâs be honest, few people come to Alaska for the weather. We are a land full of majestic mountains and waters populated by bears, whales, eagles, and heart-stopping scenery, but our weather, especially in Kodiak, can be challenging.

The pillar-like epithelial cells cover the finger-like projections (villi) of the intestinal surface. Observe the variation in appearance of the epithelial layer which is caused by different angles of cutting (refer to p. 6 of the lab manual).
Epithelial Tissue. Epithelial tissue is a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity. Two forms occur in the human body: Covering and lining epitheliumâ forms the outer layer of the skin; lines open cavities of the digestive and respiratory systems; covers the walls of organs of the closed ventral body cavity. Glandular epitheliumâ surrounds glands within the body.
