Examples of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium include some parts of the lining of oral cavity, pharynx, conjunctiva of eye, upper one-third esophagus, rectum, vulva, and vagina. Even non-keratinized surfaces, consisting as they do of keratinocytes, have a minor superficial keratinized layer of varying thickness, depending on the ...

Non-keratinized squamous epithelium covers the soft palate, lips, cheeks and the floor of the mouth. Keratinized squamous epithelium is present in the gingiva and hard palate . [ 3 ] Keratinization is the differentiation of keratinocytes in the granular layer into dead surface cells to form the stratum corneum.
Keratinized squamous epithelium is present in the gingiva and hard palate as well as areas of the dorsal surface of the tongue. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Keratinization is the differentiation of keratinocytes in the stratum granulosum into nonvital surface cells or squames to form the stratum corneum.
The junctional epithelium, a nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, [1] lies immediately apical to the sulcular epithelium, which lines the gingival sulcus from the base to the free gingival margin, where it interfaces with the epithelium of the oral cavity.
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar (respiratory epithelium) Incompletely encapsulated: Small folds—sometimes described as crypts [2] Roof of pharynx: Tubal tonsils: Ciliated pseudostratified columnar (respiratory epithelium) Roof of pharynx Palatine tonsils: Non-keratinized stratified squamous: Incompletely encapsulated: Long, branched [3]
It is composed of non-keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium with goblet cells, stratified columnar epithelium and stratified cuboidal epithelium (depending on the zone). The conjunctiva is highly vascularised, with many microvessels easily accessible for imaging studies.
Epithelium: columnar epithelium (as is most of the digestive tract - the line represents the end of the part of the body derived from the hindgut) stratified squamous epithelium, non-keratinized (until Hilton's white line, where the anal verge becomes continuous with the perianal skin containing keratinized epithelium.) Embryological origin [3 ...
