Detailed explanation-1: -Stratified squamous epithelium: This type of epithelium usually has protective functions, including protection against microorganisms from invading underlying tissue and/or protection against water loss. The outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) is made of stratified squamous epithelial cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stratified squamous keratinising epithelium There are around 8-10 layers of cells. It’s difficult to see the basal lamina in the region of the dividing cells, in the basal layer. Notice how the cells become more flattened towards the top (apical) layer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Epithelia composed of a single layer of cells is called simple epithelia; epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers is called stratified epithelia.
Detailed explanation-4: -The stratified squamous epithelium can be of two types – keratinising and non-keratinising.
