Question

4.What is difference between stratified compound epithelium and transitional compound epithelium,give examples of each.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Simple epithelium is present in the lining of the stomach and intestine. Compound epithelium is present in the lining of the pharynx and buccal cavity. In simple epithelia, all the cells rest on the basement membrane. In compound epithelia, only the lowermost layer of cells rest on the basement membrane.Compound Epithelium: The surface of our body and internal organs is subjected to wear, tear and injury. To protect the inner tissues, the outer lining of the body and organs is covered by a specialized group of cells called epithelium. It is much thicker than simple epithelial tissueTransitional epithelium is a type of stratified epithelium. This tissue consists of multiple layers of epithelial cells which can contract and expand in order to adapt to the degree of distension needed. Transitional epithelium lines the organs of the urinary system and is known here as urothelium.
