Answer:

Characteristics of epithelium tissue

1.Polarity- Epithelium is arranged so there is one free surface (apical surface) and one attached surface (basal surface)

2.Cellular nature– Cells in epithelium fit closely together side by side and sometimes atop each other to form sheets of cells. These sheets are held together by specialized junctions.

3.Supported by connective tissue– Attachment to a layer of connective tissue at the basal surface forms a layer called the basement membrane, an adhesive layer formed by secretions from the epithelial cells and the connective tissue cells.

4.Avascular– Epithelium typically lacks its own blood supply.

5.Regeneration– Epithelium cells can regenerate if proper nourished.

6.Absence of nerves (except for a few axons in the deeper layers)

Classification scheme of epithelial tissue:

Typically epithelial tissue is classified on the basis of arrangement and shape of cells. For naming the tissue types, the arrangement of the cells is stated first, then the shape, and is followed by “epithelium” to complete the naming. For example; Simple Squamous Epithelium.

a 24 kg rock containing 3,528 j of potential energy rests upon the edge of a cliff how tall is the cliff

GenaCL600 [577]

Potential gravitational energy is computed with the formula:

$PEgrav=mgh$

Where:
PEgrav = Potential gravitation energy (J)
m = mass (kg)
h = height (m)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

Take note that acceleration due to gravity is a constant.

All you need to do is put in what you know and solve for what you don't know. So your given is the following:
PEgrav = 3,528J
m = 24 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Put that into your formula:
$PEgrav=mgh$
$3,528J = (24kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(h)$
$3,528J = (235.2kg.m/s^{2})(h)$
$\frac{3,528J}{235.2kg.m/s^{2}} = h$
$15m=h$

The height of the cliff is 15m.

Which of the following scenarios would be most likely to cause a weak point in the aorta to rupture, and why? (2 points)

REY [17]

<span>I believe the answer is,

High systolic, because when the heart pumps, the pressure inside the aorta would be greatest, causing the weak spot to rupture outward.

This indicates high blood pressure that causes rupture of the aorta or aorta dissection.</span>
