Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Stratified epithelium consists of epithelial cells in which the deepest layer is made up of columnar or cuboidal cells. It is a type of compound epithelium and outer few layers, a water proof protein called keratin is present.
These layers of dead cells is called horny layer which is shed at intervals due to frictions hence, has a limited role in secretion and absorption. The main function of stratified epithelium is to provide protection to the body against mechanical and chemical stresses.
