where would you find non - keratinized stratified squamous epithelia? bladder trachea esophagus skin
Non - keratinized stratified squamous epithelia line areas that are moist and subject to abrasion. The esophagus is lined with this type of epithelium as it needs to be moist for the passage of food and is subject to abrasion from swallowed materials. The skin has keratinized stratified squamous epithelium for protection and waterproofing. The trachea has pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium for trapping and moving mucus and particles. The bladder has transitional epithelium to allow for stretching.
