Question: The body has numerous amounts of cells. Cells are the smallest living subunit of an organism. Cells are made up by even smaller organelles. For example the cilia of the trachea is psuedostratified squamous epithelium which means it is flat, it has many layers like a stack of pancakes and has cilia on it. The cilia function to sweep debris and pathogens into the highly acidic hydrochloric acid of the stomach where dust, debris and pathogens are dissolved.

1) Pick a cell in the body and tell the class what you like about its specializations. What makes it unique and able to carry out its function? Review two of your peer's selections and tell them what you like about their selection.

2) Now take it a step further and list for the class your two favorite organelles. What are their functions? Why did you choose this organelle?
