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.
