According to my histology textbook, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium lines the length of the Esophagus. not too sure why though!!
when cells are not keratinised the surface cells can be used alternatively to protect the underlying cells. this only occurs in areas where there will be very little friction therefore damage caused to the cells.
WHY its non-kerantinized, because its WET. keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is dry (nails, hair, skin).

What is the function of stratified squamous epithelium that lines the oropharynx and laryngopharynx?
The oropharynx and the laryngopharynx are lined by non-keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium.
What type of cell lines the bladder?
stratified squamous and transitional epithelium
What is the difference between the skin and the esophagus?
Esophagus is mucosal epithelium, which is made up of columnar epithelial cells, and undermined by smooth muscle.
What type of epithelium lines most of the respiratory tract?
The cells that line the epithelium in the tracheae are ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium cells.They are of three types -ciliated cellsgoblet cellsbasal cells
What tissue covers the lining of esophagus?
The esophagus is part of the gastrointestinal tract, and from mouth to anus, the entire tract is lined with a mucosal epithelial tissue. The linings are named, in order from inner to outer, the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa.
Is the linning of the esophagus simple columnar?
No, Stratified Squamous epithelium tissue lines the esophagus.
What type of epithelium lines the aorta?
stratifed squamous epithelium
What type of epithelium lines the inner surface of the ureter?
transitional epithelium
What type of tissue lines the ear?
Epithelium lines the ear
What type of epithelium lines the digested tract?
nonciliated simple columnar epithelium
What type of epithelium lines the kidneys?
simple cuboidal with microvilli
What is the function of stratified squamous epithelium that lines the oropharynx and laryngopharynx?
The oropharynx and the laryngopharynx are lined by non-keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium.
What type of epithelium line anus?
Simple stratified epithelium lines the anus.
What type of cell lines the bladder?
stratified squamous and transitional epithelium
What transition in epithelium exists at the cardio esophageal junction?
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium of the esophagus transitions to simple columnar epithelium of the stomach
What type of epithelium lines the small intestine?
The intestinal epithelium, which covers the small and large intestine, is simple columnar and nonciliated. It lines most of the organs of the digestive tract.
When does epithelium of esophagus change to squamous?
I believe that the esophagus does not change to squamous as it already contains stratified squamous epithelium (keratinization depends on species and diet) post- soft palate.
