zhenek [66]2 years ago
3 0

it would be problematic if the esophagus was lined with simple squamous epithelium because it is exposed to dryness or to abrasion as a result of the presence of keratin.

<h3>What is Simple squamous epithelium?</h3>

This is the type of epithelium which are present in blood vessel and the cells of the lungs such as alveoli etc.

This type of cell is absent in the esophagus because it has the ability to get dried up or abrased as result of food substances which are taken in which may cause different complications in the body.

This is therefore the reason why the stratified squamous epithelium is responsible for the lining of the esophagus.

Ep-19 class "b" fire extinguishers are best suited to fight what kind of fires?
yulyashka [42]
Fire extinguishers are classified according to the type of fire. jThe A, B, and C ratings define what kind of burning materials each fire extinguisher is designed to quench.

Class B fire extinguishers are effective against flammable liquid-form fires. Examples of which are cooking oils, gasoline, kerosene and the like. There are two commonly used effective fire-fighting chemicals used in these types of fire namely monoammonium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate. The monoammonium phosphate can effectively smother the fire from these liquid combustibles while the sodium bicarbonate induces a chemical reaction to extinguish the fire.

Therefore, the Class B fire extinguishers are suitable for liquid form combustibles such as cooking oil, gasoline, kerosene or paint.
