What kind of epithelium is in the epidermis?
stratified squamous epithelial and simple cuboidal epethilium.
What is the function of stratified squamous epithelium?
Stratified squamous epithelium consists of several layers of cells, which protect the areas of the body It can be found in areas such as the esophagus, mouth, and the outer portion of the skin (epidermis).
What is the function of the stratified columnar epithelium?
The function of stratified columnar epithelium is protection and secretion. It is arranged in multiple layers and is commonly found in the ocular conjunctiva of the eye, female uterus, male urethra and many other organs.
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 epithelium tissue is the epidermis of the skin?

What epithelium tissue provides the greatest protection from mechanical injury?
Stratified Squamous provides the best protection because it is the outer layer of our skin. Your epidermis is stratified squamous epithelium!
What does stratified mean in 'stratified squamous epithelium'?
Stratified refers to layers. The epithelial cells are arranged as such.
What heals faster stratified squamous or stratified columnar epithelium?
Simple columnar epithelium cells will heal faster than stratified squamous cells. The stratified squamous cells rarely have contact with blood.
What is the function of stratified epithelium tissue?
Epithelium is found covering external or internal surfaces in the body. Stratified epithelium consists of more than one layer of cells. It is often found in situations subject to abrasion, where the top layers of cells are worn off. Layers underneath replace the lost cells, so the basic function of stratified epithelium is protection. See: http://ect.downstate.edu/courseware/histomanual/epithelia.html
