Q

what are the 3 types of stratified squamous epithelium? what makes then different?

A
  1. Keratinized: seen where there is abrasion, no nuclei in surface cells
  2. Nonkeratinized: nuclei in surface cells
  3. Parakeratinized: transition bw non-keratinized → keratinized, some surface cells with nuclei, some without
