the keratinized tissue is found in the masticatory mucosa, which includes the hard palate,the gingiva, the dorsum of the tongue and the outer part of the lips.
In the hair and nails
It is located on the human skin:D
no bone cells provide protection and support
Stratified squamous epithelium has many layers of flattened cells and function in protection. There are two types: non-keratinized: found in the lining of the mouth, the throat, the vagina, and the anus. The second type is keratinized and is found as the epidermis of the skin.
labile cells are found in the hair on your head and in your blood
Stratified Squamous
When a human fetus is in its mother's womb, all of the cells that start to develop in it are stem cells. stem cells can form into any other type cell found in the human body. as the fetus continues to develop, the stem cells will change into whatever cells the baby needs(i.e., they will change into all the cells found in the human body)
no bone cells provide protection and support
The upper layer of skin i.e. Epidermis is composed of dead Keratinized epithelium cells.
Stratified squamous epithelium has many layers of flattened cells and function in protection. There are two types: non-keratinized: found in the lining of the mouth, the throat, the vagina, and the anus. The second type is keratinized and is found as the epidermis of the skin.
The Hair
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.
This is called the nail matrix.
This is called the nail matrix.
During development, the embryo contains keratinized cells in a number of places. One unique spot is in the lining of the esophagus, which is normally not keratinized in adults. In adults, keratinized cells form the topmost layer of the skin (the stratum corneum of the epidermis).And the fingernails
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.
In this case, the most apical layers (exterior) of cells are dead and lose their nucleus and cytoplasm, instead contain a tough, resistant protein called keratin. This specialization makes the epithelium waterproof, so is found in the mammalian skin.
