Which part of the epithelial cells faces the body surface?
no bone cells provide protection and support
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.
What are keratinized cells found in the body?
Keratinized cells are found in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. These cells are filled with the protein keratin, which provides strength and protection to the skin. They help form the skin's barrier against external factors like pathogens and UV radiation.
What part of the hair extends from the hair papilla to the body surface?
The hair shaft extends from the hair papilla to the body surface. It is made up of keratinized cells that form the visible part of the hair.
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.
How fast does human skin shed?
the whole process by which cells form in the stratum basale, rise to the surface , become keratinized and slough off takes about 4 weeks in a average epidermis
Which part of the epithelial cells faces the body surface?
no bone cells provide protection and support
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.
Which epidermal layer is the karatinized?
The stratum cornium has keratinized cells.
Is the root of the nail from which keratinized cells grow.?
This is called the nail matrix.
What is difference between keratinized and non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium?

Keratinized epithelium has multiple layers of cells, with only the superficial layers containing keratin, whereas non-keratinized epithelium lacks the layer of keratinized cells.
What is the medical term meaning Abnormal condition of proliferation of keratinized cells?
Keratosiskaratosis
What is the composition of nails?
Nails are made up of layers/plates of keratinized epithelial cells.
How many layer in non keratinized?
Non-keratinized epithelium typically consists of only one layer of cells. These cells are devoid of keratin, making them more flexible and better suited for moist environments such as the lining of the mouth, esophagus, and vagina.
What is the root of the nail from which keratinized cells grow?
The root of the nail is located beneath the skin at the base of the nail, where keratinized cells grow and push out to form the visible nail plate. This area is known as the nail matrix, which is responsible for producing new nail cells.
What is the process called when new cells are continuously made in deepest epidermal layer and push older cells up?
Well when the matrix cells above the dermal papilla in the hair follicle become hair cells it is called "differentiation." They then become keratinized and are pushed up. Hope this helps.
