Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) is made of stratified squamous epithelial cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Epidermis, the epithelial layer of skin, is primarily protective. This layer, consisting of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, is tough, relatively impermeable, and self-replacing.
Detailed explanation-3: -A stratified squamous epithelium is a stratified epithelium in which the topmost layer is made up of squamous (flattened and scale-like) epithelial cells. The deeper layers may have cuboidal or columnar cells. Some stratified squamous epithelia are heavily keratinized whereas others are slightly or non-keratinized.
