Why is epithelium better suited for protecting the body's external surface than a mucosa consisting of a simple columnar epithelium would be?
The stratified squamous epithelium is composed of several layers. It is thick and well suited for its protective qualities and its surface cells are constantly being replaced. Simple columnar epithelium is just a single layer of closely packed cells. It lines the digestive tract from the stomach to the rectum. Therefore, the latter would not be best suited to protect your outside surface.
