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.
between the keratinized gingiva and non keratinized gingiva.
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.
The upper layer of skin i.e. Epidermis is composed of dead Keratinized epithelium cells.
Epithelial tissues that line the mouth, esophagus, and vagina are typically non-keratinized. In contrast, epithelial tissues that form the skin (epidermis) are keratinized to provide protection against mechanical stress and dehydration.
Yes, the inside of the mouth is lined with non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelial cells. As in most mucous membranes, that is the main tissue type. Parts of the gums, hard palate, and tongue are slightly keratinized, but not nearly as much as the skin outside the mouth is keratinized.
The stratum cornium has keratinized cells.
The layer of the skin composed of keratinized tissue is the epidermis. It is the outermost layer of the skin and provides a protective barrier against environmental factors and pathogens.
They have hard keratinized skin.
This is called the nail matrix.
The epidermis consist of keratinized squamous epithelium.

Keratinized tissue is primarily found in the skin, hair, and nails on the outermost layer of the body. It provides protection against mechanical damage and serves as a barrier against pathogens and dehydration.
