Vedclass · Answer

(A) Stratified squamous epithelium is a type of compound epithelium consisting of multiple layers of cells. In this tissue,the cells of the basal (innermost) layer are typically cuboidal or columnar and are metabolically active,undergoing continuous division. The cells become progressively flattened (squamous) as they move towards the surface (outermost layer) due to the pressure of new cells being formed below. Therefore,the outermost layer is squamous,while the innermost (basal) layer is cuboidal or columnar.
