Which type of epithelium is found is oesophagus, cornea and vagina?
Transitional epithelium
Columnar epithelum
Non-keratinized stratified epithelium
Keratinized stratified epithelium
The transitional epithelium, also known as the urothelium, lines the urethra, ureters, and urinary bladder.
The columnar epithelium is found in those parts which are responsible for absorption and secretion, such as it forms the lining of the intestine, stomach, and colon, forming mucous membrane.
A non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium consists of cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is found in the Oral cavity, Pharynx, Vagina, and Cervix.
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is a type of stratified epithelium that contains numerous layers of s quamous cells, called keratinocytes, in which the superficial layer of cells is keratinized. Keratinized epithelium is found in the epidermis of the skin, sole of the foot and palm of the hand.
