Which epithelium is best suited for resisting abrasion and preventing pathogen entry into deeper tissues?

Epithelial cells best suited for resisting abrasion and preventing pathogen entry into deeper tissues are stratified squamous epithelial cells.

Stratified cells are layered cells, squamous cells are flat and epithelial cells are covering cells. Therefore, stratified squamous epithelial cells are flattened, layered covering cells arranged on a basement membrane.

Stratified squamous epithelial cells have very little to no intercellular spaces which prevent pathogen from passing through and entering into the deeper tissues. They are well suited for resisting abrasion because the uppermost layers are subsequently sloughed off and replaced before the basement membrane is exposed. These types of cells form the outermost layer of the skin.

Answer:

Five days prior to ovulation and day of ovulation represents a six day fertile window of a women’s cycle

Explanation:

In the five days prior to ovulation and day of ovulation, the chances of conception are high. These six days represents the fertile window of a women’s cycle during which the sperm with a life span of five days and egg with a life span of 24 hours can fuse. However, likelihood of conceiving increases if two individuals mate in the first three days of these six days fertile window of women’s cycle.

Why is it imprtant for the ova and sperm cell to each contain a haploid number of chromosomes?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Meiosis makes sperm and eggs. ... The result is 4 haploid daughter cells known as gametes or egg and sperm cells (each with 23 chromosomes – 1 from each pair in the diploid cell). At conception, an egg cell and a sperm cell combine to form a zygote (46 chromosomes or 23 pairs).

HOPE THIS HELPS AND GOOD LUCK
