Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The entire surface of the oral mucosa is covered by squamous stratified epithelium. This is a highly organized, avascular, and semipermeable tissue whose thickness and degree of keratinization varies according to the location in the oral cavity and the area’s functional and mechanical requirements.
Detailed explanation-2: -All of the oral mucosa is made up of a thick stratified squamous epithelium, supported by a lamina propria. The epithelium is thick because the epithelial lining of the oral cavity is subject to a lot of wear and tear.
