Choose the statement that best exemplifies the interrelated nature of anatomy and physiology.

1) Simple squamous epithelium consists of a single layer of flattened cells, which is appropriate for organs where filtration and diffusion occur.

2) The stomach is involved in mechanical and chemical digestion, and secretes many enzymes as well as hormones.

3) The iris of the eye consists of two layers of smooth muscle innervated by the autonomic nervous system.

4) The ovaries are involved in the production of gametes as well as production of hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle.

How would an anatomist describe the bladder?

1) The main function of the bladder is to store urine.

3) The esophageal wall includes a middle layer of dense irregular connective tissue.

4) The muscles of the intestinal wall contract slowly and involuntarily.
