Stratified = layered;
Epithelium = exterior, as compared to mesothelium or endothelium;
Squamous = are flattened cells, obvious to be layered: need help/input/please,

What type of epithelium can be found in the epidermis?
Stratified Squamous
What type of epithelium lines the esophagus?
According to my histology textbook, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium lines the length of the Esophagus. not too sure why though!! when cells are not keratinised the surface cells can be used alternatively to protect the underlying cells. this only occurs in areas where there will be very little friction therefore damage caused to the cells. WHY its non-kerantinized, because its WET. keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is dry (nails, hair, skin).
What epithelial tissue lines the mouth and protects underlying tissues?
The stratified squamos lines the inside of the mouth.
What is difference between keratinized and non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium?
Keratinized covers the dry areas of the skin whilst non keratized covers moist areas such as the larynx, vagina, and upper esophagus.
What is the function of stratified squamous epithelium?
Stratified squamous epithelium consists of several layers of cells, which protect the areas of the body It can be found in areas such as the esophagus, mouth, and the outer portion of the skin (epidermis).
What type of epithelium can be found in the epidermis?
Stratified Squamous
Human skin is primarily what type of Epithelium?
non-keratinized stratified squamous

What epithelial tissue lines the mouth and protects underlying tissues?
The stratified squamos lines the inside of the mouth.
What is the characteristic of the dermal layer?
The epidermis is highly keratinized, mostly dead, stratified squamous epithelium.
What kind of epithelium is in the epidermis?
stratified squamous epithelial and simple cuboidal epethilium.
What epithelium tissue is the epidermis of the skin?
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.
What is difference between keratinized and non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium?
Keratinized covers the dry areas of the skin whilst non keratized covers moist areas such as the larynx, vagina, and upper esophagus.

What are examples of stratified squamous epithelium?
Examples of stratified squamous epithelium include the epidermis of the skin, lining of the oral cavity, esophagus, vagina, and anus. These tissues are composed of multiple layers of flat, scale-like cells that provide protection against physical trauma, abrasion, and pathogens.
What type of epithelium line anus?
Simple stratified epithelium lines the anus.
