Which type of epithelium is adapted to protect underlying tissues from abrasion and friction?
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.
Why is epithelium better suited for protecting the body's external surface than a mucosa consisting of a simple columnar epithelium would be?
The stratified squamous epithelium is composed of several layers. It is thick and well suited for its protective qualities and its surface cells are constantly being replaced. Simple columnar epithelium is just a single layer of closely packed cells. It lines the digestive tract from the stomach to the rectum. Therefore, the latter would not be best suited to protect your outside surface.
