The stratified squamous epithelium consists of flattened epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. It's the thickest, and layers can be sloughed off and replaced before the basement membrane is exposed. It forms the outer layer of the skin and the inner lining of the mouth, esophagus, and vagina.
