Cheek cells are made up of squamous epithelium , these are tightly arranged and helps protect against bacterial invasion.
Human cheek cells are a type of epithelial cell that lines the interior of the mouth. The function of the human cheek cells is to secrete mucin, which maintains moisture in the mouth to aid mechanical and chemical digestion.
To help in the chewing of food. Cheek cells are actually epithelial cells, and are used to line any cavities inside and outside the human body.
Cheek cells mainly assist in chewing food and protecting against bacterial infection. They chew the food by breaking it down and the layer they occupy protects the cheek from injury.
