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 island, a rain forest, receives approximately 70 inches of rain and 70 inches of snow per year.
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).
EPITHELIUM â¢ epithelium is a tissue composed of a layer of cells.â¢ Epithelium lines both the outside (skin) and the inside cavities and lumen of bodies.â¢ The outermost layer of our skin is composed of dead stratified squamous epithelial cells, as are the mucous membranes lining the inside of mouths and body cavities.unctions of Epithelial Tissue â¢ Protection â¢Epithelial cells from the skin protect underlying tissue from mechanical injury, harmful chemicals, invading bacteria and from excessive loss of water. â¢ Sensation â¢Sensory stimuli penetrate specialised epithelial cells.
