The outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) is made of stratified squamous epithelial cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are the functions of stratified cuboidal epithelium? Stratified cuboidal epithelium is usually less common and is found in the salivary, mammary and sweat glands. Their major functions are protection, excretion and secretion.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
