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 epithelia contain two or more layers of cells. The function of this type of epithelium is mostly protective-the higher the number of layers, the more protective it is. It is good at withstanding abrasion.
