Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) is made of stratified squamous epithelial cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Simple squamous epithelia are found lining the cavities of the body including the pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal cavities, or in areas where passive diffusion occurs, such as glomeruli in the kidney and alveoli in the respiratory tract.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stratified squamous epithelium consists of a single basal layer containing stem cells, 2–3 layers of proliferative basaloid cells in the suprabasal region, and larger keratinized cells toward the surface. The esophageal squamous epithelium is nonkeratinizing, i.e., it does not have a stratum corneum.
