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
Columnar stratified epithelium - Not very common. Found in the bulbar conjunctiva (membrane covering whites of eyes).
so i would assume protection was the major function. Columnar stratified epithelium - Not very common. Found in the bulbar conjunctiva (membrane covering whites of eyes).

That is epithelial tissue that is two or more cells thick, such as skin. (Also known as stratified epithelium.)
stratified epithelial tissue is called that because it is two or more cells thick :D woop , # swagg .
Found in locations with much abraision, such as palms, soles, oral cavity. Allows more sloughing off of cells before reaching sensitive tissues.
it forms the epidermis of the skin
There are 8 types; simple squamous, simple columnar, simple cuboidal, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, stratified columnar, pseudostratified columnar, and transitional.
The epidermis is highly keratinized, mostly dead, stratified squamous epithelium.
Epithelium is the connective tissue in a frog that lines the organs. It covers the internal organs and forms a protective barrier.
Answer The answer is tissue AND NOT ORGAN
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is an epithelial tissue comprised of only one layer of cells. The nuclei of these column shaped cells are located at varying levels which make it appear as though there are multiple layers.
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.
The dominant function of stratified epithelium is to protect underlying structures from mechanical wear and tear.
Stratified Squamous provides the best protection because it is the outer layer of our skin. Your epidermis is stratified squamous epithelium!
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium

all epithelial tissue is avascular
Tissue type of the epidermis is stratified squamous epithelium.
If epithelial cells are more than one layer thick, it is considered stratified epithelial tissue.
Why is the tissue which makes up the epidermis of the skin called stratifield epithelium
