ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The epithelium is a type of body tissue that forms the covering on all internal and external surfaces of your body, lines body cavities and hollow organs and is the major tissue in glands.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stratified squamous epithelium has multiple layers of cells becoming flattened as they move from the basal layer to the apical layers. It provides protection from abrasion and is keratinized on the external surface of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -c) Stratified squamous epithelial tissues are associated with areas of high abrasion, such as the skin (not filtration). d) The skin is lined by keratinized stratified squamous epithelium (not simple cuboidal epithelium).

Detailed explanation-4: -The esophageal lining is protected by a stratified squamous epithelium. Because this epithelium is normally not exposed to dryness or to abrasion, it is non-keratinized. Scattered submucosal mucous glands provide lubrication.
