What type of tissue lines the esophagus and forms the skin epidermis?

Stratified squamous epithelial cells are what form the top two layers of the epidermis: stratum corneum and stratum lucidum.
Then stratified cuboidal epithelial cells are found in the bottom three layers of the epidermis: stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale.
(Stratum basale is only layer that contains nothing but mitotic cells. This layer contains melanocytes as well.)
The entire epidermis, however is identified as stratified squamous because epithelial tissue is always identified by the type of epithelial tissue at the apical (top) surface.

Lines the esophagus and forms the skin epidermis?
Stratified Squamous.
What type of epithelium lines the esophagus?
According to my histology textbook, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium lines the length of the Esophagus. not too sure why though!! when cells are not keratinised the surface cells can be used alternatively to protect the underlying cells. this only occurs in areas where there will be very little friction therefore damage caused to the cells. WHY its non-kerantinized, because its WET. keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is dry (nails, hair, skin).
What tissue lines body surfaces?
Epithelial tissue lines all of the body's organs.
What types of tissues makes up the outer covering and lines organs of animals?

What is the function of epitheilial tissue?
Epithelial Tissue are tissue that forms glands, covers surfaces and lines cavities.
What forms the inner surface of the heart?
Endocardium is the innermost layer of tissue that lines the chambers of the heart.
What is the Frog connective tissue for organs?
Epithelium is the connective tissue in a frog that lines the organs. It covers the internal organs and forms a protective barrier.

What tissue forms the inner lining of the respiratory passages?
The type of epithelial tissue that lines much of the respiratory tract is called pseudostratified columnar. This type of tissue also moves substances across its surface.
What layer of the dermis is responsible for cleavage lines?
epidermis
