Keratinized covers the dry areas of the skin whilst non keratized covers moist areas such as the larynx, vagina, and upper esophagus.
Stratified Squamous
Stratified = layered; Epithelium = exterior, as compared to mesothelium or endothelium; Squamous = are flattened cells, obvious to be layered: need help/input/please,
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).
The stratified squamos lines the inside of the mouth.
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 epidermis is highly keratinized, mostly dead, stratified squamous epithelium.
stratified squamous epithelial and simple cuboidal epethilium.
The epidermis is made up 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.
Simple stratified epithelium lines the anus.
B. stratified squamous
Simple columnar epithelium cells will heal faster than stratified squamous cells. The stratified squamous cells rarely have contact with blood.
