There are many organs in our body. Some examples for organs are heart, brain, lungs, kidneys, stomach, liver, pancreas,  oesophagus , intestine, sense organs like eyes, ears, skin, tongue, nose.  

There are four main types of tissue: muscle, epithelial, connective and nervous. Each is made of specialized cells that are grouped together according to structure and function. Muscle is found throughout the body and even includes organs such as the heart. Our outer layer of skin is epithelial tissue

.Actually the greatest mitosis occurs in the epithelium. Epithelium can include the lining of your GI or even the skin. For example, the skin is the largest organ in the human body and almost all of it is exposed to the environment, which makes it more susceptible to rubs, aberrations, and wounds. The skin has to replenish this by making more skin cells at a higher rate.  

The slowest mitosis occurs in the nervous system. Nerve cells almost never multiply which is why it is difficult to heal once you have an injury involving the Nervous system.

Generally, in vertebrates, mitosis is more frequent in tissues that require frequent renewal due to their function, such as epithelial tissues and bone marrow.  In some adult tissues, mitosis is almost absent, such as in the nervous tissue and striated muscle tissue (skeletal and cardiac).

Check all of the statements that are true regarding keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer;

-Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium forms the epidermis of the skin.

-In keratinized stratified squamous epithelial tissue, the cells on the apical (outer) surface are dead.

Explanation;

-Stratified squamous epithelium is a type of tissue found covering and lining parts of the body. Stratified squamous epithelium may be keratinized or nonkeratinized. Non-keratinized surfaces must be kept moist by bodily secretions to prevent them from drying out.

-The cells on the surface of stratified squamous keratinized epithelium are very flat. Not only are they flat, but they are no longer alive. They have no nucleus or organelles. They are filled with a protein called keratin, which is what makes our skin waterproof.
