Epithelial tissue made up of many layers is ________.

Open in App

Solution

Stratified epithelium:
Layers form on top of the basal layer when cells in the basal layer divide to generate new cells, forming the stratified epithelium.
The cells on the top layer or the layer nearest to the lumen die or slough off over time, and new cells form, resulting in new layers.
An epithelial tissue made up of numerous layers of epithelial cells is known as a stratified epithelium.
The basal layer is the sole person who comes into contact with the basal lamina.
This layer could alternatively be the one that forms cells by mitotic division within the higher layers.
Final Answer: Epithelial tissue made up of many layers is stratified epithelium.
