Question

Identify and name the type of tissue in the following:

Inner lining of the buccal cavity

One Line Answer

Solution

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Explanation:

  • The buccal cavity is exposed to mechanical stress, friction, and minor injuries from chewing food.

  • Stratified squamous epithelium consists of multiple layers of cells, providing protection against abrasion and wear.

  • This tissue is non-keratinized in some areas (like the inner cheeks) but can be keratinized in regions subject to more friction (like the hard palate and gums).
