What else can I help you with?
What epithelial tissue is more than one layer thick and surface cells are flattened?
stratified squamous epithelium
What is a tissue that lines air passages?
They are called epithelial tissues. In air passage stratified epithelium is found
What does stratified mean in 'stratified squamous epithelium'?
"Stratified" in "stratified squamous epithelium" refers to the multiple layers of cells present in this type of epithelial tissue. It is named as such because the cells are arranged in layers, with the outermost layers being squamous (flat and scale-like) in shape. These layers provide protection and serve different functions depending on their location in the body.
Is stratified squamous epithelium the body's most delicate epithelial?
No, stratified squamous epithelium is not the body's most delicate epithelial tissue. It is actually one of the tougher epithelial tissues in the body, providing protection against mechanical stresses and abrasions. Simple squamous epithelium, found in tissues like the alveoli of the lungs, is much thinner and more delicate.
Is stratified squamous epithelium avascular?
Yes, stratified squamous epithelium is avascular, meaning it does not contain blood vessels. Nutrients and oxygen are supplied to the cells through diffusion from underlying tissues.
What tissue forms the most superficial layer of skin?
stratified squamous epithelial
What epithelium tissue is the epidermis of the skin?
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.
What are examples of epithelial tissues?
Epithelial tissue is any tissue that lines cavities. An example is skin (keratinized stratified squamous)
What kind of tissue lines the insides of your cheeks?
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
What type of epithelial tissue makes up the earlobe?
The earlobe is covered with stratified squamous epithelium.
What type of tissue lines the esophagus and forms the skin epidermis?
Stratified squamous epithelial cells are what form the top two layers of the epidermis: stratum corneum and stratum lucidum. Then stratified cuboidal epithelial cells are found in the bottom three layers of the epidermis: stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. (Stratum basale is only layer that contains nothing but mitotic cells. This layer contains melanocytes as well.) The entire epidermis, however is identified as stratified squamous because epithelial tissue is always identified by the type of epithelial tissue at the apical (top) surface.
What epithelial tissue is more than one layer thick and surface cells are flattened?
stratified squamous epithelium
The epithelial tissue found in areas subject to considerable friction and abuse such as the esophagus is?
stratified squamous epithelium
What epithelial tissue lines the mouth and protects underlying tissues?
Stratified squamous epithelium lines the mouth and serves to protect the underlying tissues from mechanical stress and abrasion. This type of epithelium has multiple layers of flat cells that help resist wear and tear.
What are the type of epithelial tissue found in the epidermis and dermis of the skin?
The type of epithelial tissue that is found in the epidermis of the skin is called stratified squamous epithelium. The dermis consists of connective tissue.
What kind of epithelium is in the epidermis?
stratified squamous epithelial and simple cuboidal epethilium.
What is a tissue that lines air passages?
They are called epithelial tissues. In air passage stratified epithelium is found
