Question

differentiate between keratinized epithelium and non keratinized epithelium​

Answer 1

Keratinized Epithelium:

(1). Keratinized epithelium forms the

epidermis of the land vertebrates.

(2). The surface cells (outermost cell layer) of the keratinized epithelia aredead cells.

(3). The protoplasm in the surface cells of

the keratinized epithelium is replaced by

keratin.

(4). Keratinized epithelium is impervious

to water.

Non-keratinized Epithelium:

(1). Non-keratinized epithelium forms the

lining of the buccal cavity, pharynx and

oesophagus.

(2). The surface cells of non-keratinized

epithelia are living cells.

(3). Keratin is absent in non-keratinized

epithelial cells.

(4). Non-keratinized epithelium is

pervious to water.

(5). Non-keratinized epithelium only

provides moderate protection against

abrasions.
