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.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Function of Stratified Squamous Epithelium The main function of this tissue type is protection, as it is typically found in areas that undergo significant wear-and-tear. This tissue is designed to withstand the abrasive sloughing off of the outer layer.
