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: -Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body. They form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands. They perform a variety of functions that include protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.
Detailed explanation-3: -The stratified epithelium protects the body from physical and chemical damage by creating a barrier of keratinized cells. Goblet cells are involved in maintaining a protective layer of surface tissue, like the inner lining of the stomach, through secretions such as mucus and other substances that provide a barrier.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stratified, also called compound, epithelial tissue provides the best protection against unwanted organisms or substances. Epithelial tissues with more than one layer are called stratified or compound epithelial tissues.
