The parts of the body that are keratinized are ones needing extra strength for protection. These would be structures such as skin, hair, nails, and if you are a four-legged animal you might have horns that are keratinized.

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.
