  2. Stratified squamous epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_squamous_epithelium

    Examples of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium include some parts of the lining of oral cavity, pharynx, conjunctiva of eye, upper one-third esophagus, rectum, vulva, and vagina. Even non-keratinized surfaces, consisting as they do of keratinocytes, have a minor superficial keratinized layer of varying thickness, depending on the ...

  4. Epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelium

    The outermost layer of human skin is composed of dead stratified squamous, keratinized epithelial cells. [14] Tissues that line the inside of the mouth, the esophagus, the vagina, and part of the rectum are composed of nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Other surfaces that separate body cavities from the outside environment are ...

  5. Squamous metaplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squamous_metaplasia

    In regard to the cervix, squamous metaplasia can sometimes be found in the endocervix, as it is composed of simple columnar epithelium, whereas the ectocervix is composed of stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium. [2]

  6. Conjunctiva - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunctiva

    It is composed of non-keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium with goblet cells, stratified columnar epithelium and stratified cuboidal epithelium (depending on the zone). The conjunctiva is highly vascularised, with many microvessels easily accessible for imaging studies.

  7. Oral mucosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_mucosa

    Keratinized squamous epithelium is present in the gingiva and hard palate as well as areas of the dorsal surface of the tongue. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Keratinization is the differentiation of keratinocytes in the stratum granulosum into nonvital surface cells or squames to form the stratum corneum.

  8. Transitional epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_epithelium

    The transitional epithelium cells stretch readily in order to accommodate fluctuation of volume of the liquid in an organ (the distal part of the urethra becomes non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium in females; the part that lines the bottom of the tissue is called the basement membrane).

  9. Pectinate line - Wikipedia

    stratified squamous epithelium, non-keratinized (until Hilton's white line, where the anal verge becomes continuous with the perianal skin containing keratinized epithelium.) Embryological origin [3] endoderm: ectoderm: Artery: superior rectal artery: middle and inferior rectal arteries Vein
