Which of the following is an avascular tissue?
Answers
Answer:
stratified squamous epithelium
Step by step answer:The stratified squamous epithelium is avascular, which means it lacks blood vessels in their structure. The tissue that is attached to the basal layer contains cuboidal and columnar epithelial cells also.
Explanation:
The nuclei of these cells are oval and cell division takes place by mitosis process to form new daughter cells.
The newly formed cells move outward but in the middle layers, the cells become polyhedral in shape and have rounded nuclei and are called intermediate layers. The cells of superficial layers become flat and have transversely elongated nuclei, called squamous layers. There are two types of stratified squamous epithelial cells present in the body – keratinized and non-keratinized
