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.

Direction: Read the following and answer the questions that follow Most epithelial tissue are essentially large sheets of cells covering all the surfaces of the body exposed to the outside world and lining the outside of organs. Epithelium also forms much of the glandular tissue of the body. Skin is not the only area of the body exposed to the outside. Other areas include the air way, the digestive tract, as well as the urinary and reproductive systems, all of which are lined by an epithelium. Hollow organs and body cavities that do not connect to the exterior of the body, which includes blood vessels and serous membranes, are lined by endothelium (plural=endothelia), which is a type of epithelium. Also epithelium tissue cells are joined together by various cellular junctions. (i) The cells of squamous epithelium are (a) multilayered and thick (b) flat and thick (c) thin with rigid boundaries (d) flat with irreqular boundaries (ii) Which of the following is not a function of epithelium? (a) Protection (b) Connection (c) Secretion or Excretion (d) Absorption (iii) Lining of body cavities, ducts and tubes are made up of (a) compound epithelium (b) simple epithelium (c) cuboidal epithelium (d) keratinised epithelium (iv) In humans, compound squamous epithelium is found in (a) stomach (b) intestine (c) trachea (d) pharynx (v) Assertion (A) Gap junctions perform cementing function to keep the neighbouring cells together. Reason (R) Tight junctions facilitate the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions, small and big molecules, etc. (a) Both and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A (b) Both and are true, but is not the correct explanation of (c) is true, but is false (d) Both A and R are false
