depends on the type of epithelium. I'm assuming you are asking about stratified squamous epithelium as that is the most common type. It is found in areas of the body that are subjected to a lot of stress (environmental, mechanical) such as the skin, the anus, the oropharynx, and the vagina. Stratified columnar epithelium is found throughout the GI tract.
