  2. Stratified squamous epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_squamous_epithelium

    Non-keratinized surfaces must be kept moist by bodily secretions to prevent them from drying out. Cells of stratum corneum are sometimes without keratin and living. 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 ...

  3. Oral mucosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_mucosa

    Lining mucosa, nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, found almost everywhere else in the oral cavity, including the: Alveolar mucosa, the lining between the buccal and labial mucosae. It is a brighter red, smooth, and shiny with many blood vessels, and is not connected to underlying tissue by rete pegs. [6]

  5. 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 ...

  6. Lingual tonsils - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingual_tonsils

    Lingual tonsils are covered externally by stratified squamous epithelium (nonkeratinized) that invaginates inward forming tonsillar crypts. Beneath the epithelium is a layer of lymphoid nodules containing lymphocytes. Mucous glands located at the root of the tongue are drained through several ducts into the crypts of the lingual tonsils.

  7. 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).

  8. Pectinate line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pectinate_line

    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

  9. Junctional epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_epithelium

    The junctional epithelium, a nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, [1] lies immediately apical to the sulcular epithelium, which lines the gingival sulcus from the base to the free gingival margin, where it interfaces with the epithelium of the oral cavity.
