Question

Differentiate between keratinised epithelium and nonkeratinised epithelium.

Expert Solution
Step 1

An epithelium is a type of animal tissue. Epithelium constitutes the outer layer of body surfaces, lining the walls of hollow structures, and the alimentary canal. It covers the body’s external and internal surfaces.  The epithelial tissues are classified into non-keratinized and keratinized epithelial tissues based on the presence of keratin.
