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).
Epithelial cells depend on diffusion of nutrients from capillaries in the underlying connective tissue or from the free surface. â¢ Epithelia are innervated by sensory neurons. â¢ Basement membrane is a is semi-permeable layer of collagen and adhesive proteins that anchors epithelial cells to underlying connective tissue.â¢ The connective tissue under an epithelium is called the lamina propria.
