NEET BIOLOGY

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stratified Epithelium This epithelium protects against physical and chemical damage. The stratified epithelium is named by the shape of the most apical layer of cells, closest to the free space. Stratified squamous epithelium is the most common type of stratified epithelium in the human body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The surface and lining tissues of our body are exposed to the external environment, and as such these epithelial tissues must form structural barriers able to defend against microbes, environmental toxins, and mechanical stress.

Detailed explanation-5: -The type of epithelial tissue that is least protective would be non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelial tissue. This means the tissue is made of squamous epithelial cells, the thin, flat cells, that make a very thin layer.
