Stratified Squamous provides the best protection because it is the outer layer of our skin. Your epidermis is stratified squamous epithelium!
What are examples of epithelial tissues?
Epithelial tissue is any tissue that lines cavities. An example is skin (keratinized stratified squamous)
What type of tissue can withstand repeated friction and abuse?
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
What type of tissue lines the esophagus and forms the skin epidermis?
Stratified squamous epithelial cells are what form the top two layers of the epidermis: stratum corneum and stratum lucidum. Then stratified cuboidal epithelial cells are found in the bottom three layers of the epidermis: stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. (Stratum basale is only layer that contains nothing but mitotic cells. This layer contains melanocytes as well.) The entire epidermis, however is identified as stratified squamous because epithelial tissue is always identified by the type of epithelial tissue at the apical (top) surface.
Which type of epithelium is adapted to protect underlying tissues from abrasion and friction?
The stratified squamous epithelium consists of flattened epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. It's the thickest, and layers can be sloughed off and replaced before the basement membrane is exposed. It forms the outer layer of the skin and the inner lining of the mouth, esophagus, and vagina.
Is simple squamous the epithelium best adapted for a body surface subject to abraision?
