Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Strata in nonkeratinized stratified epithelium
A
Stratum corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, basale
B
Stratum corneum, granulosum, spinosum, basale
C
Stratum superficiale, spinosum, basale
D
Stratum superficial, intermediate, desmosome, basal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To recognize this epithelium as non-keratinized, compare with epidermis of skin while noting here the absence of a stratum granulosum, and note that cells on the lumenal surface of this epithelium appear similar to those deeper in the epithelium, with nuclei clearly present.

Detailed explanation-2: -Look at the nuclei of the epithelial cells and notice that there are several layers of them. This is your clue that you are looking at a stratified tissue. This image shows only the outermost layers of the stratified squamous epithelium. The cells in this tissue are not all squamous (flat).
