Question
question (1) in what areas of the body is stratified epithelium found? select all that apply options: (area where rapid diffusion is needed), (lining of the mouth), (skin), (lining of the lungs)
Stratified epithelium is found in areas where protection and resistance to abrasion are needed, or where rapid diffusion is not the primary function. The lining of the mouth (stratified squamous non - keratinized) and the skin (stratified squamous keratinized) have stratified epithelium. The lining of the lungs has simple squamous epithelium for gas exchange (rapid diffusion), and "tissue where rapid diffusion is needed" would have simple epithelium, not stratified.
