What is difference between keratinized and non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium?

Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in areas subject to high mechanical stress and is waterproof due to the presence of keratin, while non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in areas that require flexibility and moisture retention, such as the oral cavity and esophagus. Keratinized epithelium has multiple layers of cells, with only the superficial layers containing keratin, whereas non-keratinized epithelium lacks the layer of keratinized cells.


Where are stratified squamous epithelial cells found?

Stratified squamous epithelium has many layers of flattened cells and function in protection. There are two types: non-keratinized: found in the lining of the mouth, the throat, the vagina, and the anus. The second type is keratinized and is found as the epidermis of the skin.


Which part of the epithelial cells faces the body surface?

no bone cells provide protection and support


What type of cells from which both hair and nails develop?

Both hair and nails develop from the specialized keratinized cells called epithelial cells. These cells are found in the skin and are responsible for producing keratin, the protein that gives hair and nails their structure and strength.


Is the human body made up of only living cells?

no the human body is made of living cells but they contain... *minerals (salts and calcium) *gases carbon ect IN Fact.. we are made out of the same things a star is!! its just repositioned or combined differently in different amounts.

Which layer of skin is composed of dead keratinized cells?

The upper layer of skin i.e. Epidermis is composed of dead Keratinized epithelium cells.


Where is keratinized located in the body?

Keratinized tissue is primarily found in the skin, hair, and nails on the outermost layer of the body. It provides protection against mechanical damage and serves as a barrier against pathogens and dehydration.

The Hair


Where is non keratinised stratified epithelium found?

Yes, the inside of the mouth is lined with non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelial cells. As in most mucous membranes, that is the main tissue type. Parts of the gums, hard palate, and tongue are slightly keratinized, but not nearly as much as the skin outside the mouth is keratinized.


Which epidermal layer is the karatinized?

The stratum cornium has keratinized cells.


Which part of the epithelial cells faces the body surface?

no bone cells provide protection and support


Is the root of the nail from which keratinized cells grow.?

This is called the nail matrix.


Where are you likely to find keratinized?

The parts of the body that are keratinized are ones needing extra strength for protection. These would be structures such as skin, hair, nails, and if you are a four-legged animal you might have horns that are keratinized.

Why is the epidermis keratinized and not non-keratinized?

In this case, the most apical layers (exterior) of cells are dead and lose their nucleus and cytoplasm, instead contain a tough, resistant protein called keratin. This specialization makes the epithelium waterproof, so is found in the mammalian skin.
