Question

Diff between squamous epithelium and striated squamous epithelium

Answer 1

squamous epithelium cells are extremely thin and flat and form delicate lining.They are found in the lining of oesophagus and mouth.
when the skin cell epithelial cells are arranged in many layers to prevent wear and tear the epithelium is called stratified squamous epithelium.

Answer 2

Stratified Squamous Epithelia

Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
- multiple layers of squamous cells
- the apical layer of cells are dead and filled with the protein keratin
- this is found in the epidermis (top layer of skin) 

- is used to hinder water loss and creates a physical barrier for us from the outside world

Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
- multiple layers of squamous cells
- none of the cells are dead
- found in moist slippery areas of the body such as the vagina, oral mucosa, tongue and esophagus

squamous epithelium

A simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells in contact with the basal lamina (one of the two layers of the basement membrane) of the epithelium. This type of epithelium is often permeable and occurs where small molecules need to pass quickly through membranes via filtration or diffusion.
