Why are epithelial membranes thin?

Biology
1 answer:
tamaranim1 [39]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

d. Epithelial tissues are nourished by blood vessels in adjacent tissues, thus diffusion is limited to thin tissues.

Explanation:

Epithelial tissues have tightly packed cells and have no space for blood vessels to be present between adjacent epithelial cells. The cells of the epithelial tissues get nutrients from the blood vessels of neighboring connective tissues.

Since the exchange of nutrients between the cells of the epithelial and connective tissues occurs through diffusion, epithelial tissues are only one to few cells layers thick to allow nutrient supply to all of its cells.

devlian [24]

Answer:

The composition of the blood entering from Q is different from the blood leaving through R because it contains more nutrients.

Explanation:

This diagram is the structure of villi which is a main part of small intestine. The main function of villi is the absorption of nutrients from food materials and add these nutrients into the blood vessel which is present inside them. So this blood contains more nutrients.
