Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Stratified Epithelial Tissue
When we observe stratified epithelial tissue it is nothing so specific to differentiate from simple epithelium but the number of layers will increase to make it much more thick,has a defined function.The cells of the basal layer in this tissue continuously undergoes mitotic divisions so as to replace the worn out cells. Stratified epithelia are found covering the exterior body surfaces and lining portions of the body tracts where friction phenomena occur. Although most prevalent in the skin and portions of the digestive and reproductive tract, stratified epithelia can be found in some large ducts and tubules.
