After prolonged inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nasal
cavity in the patient, changes in the epithelium are observed. What
epithelium has changed?
Stratified columnar
Stratified cuboidal
Stratified squamous
O Pseudostratified
O Simple squamous
Explain the consequences of having (a) nonkeratinized stratified epitheliumrather than simple columnar epithelium lining the digestive tract,(b) nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium rather than keratinizedstratified squamous epithelium in the skin, and (c) simple columnarepithelium rather than stratified squamous epithelium lining the mouth.
The lips are muscular folds forming the anterior boundary of the oral cavity. A mucous membrane covers the lips internally and the skin of the face covers them externally. The vermillion border, which is the red part of the lips, is covered by keratinized epithelium that is the transition between the epithelium of the mucous membrane and the facial skin. The vermillion border can become chapped (dry and cracked), whereas the mucous membrane and the facial skin do not. Propose as many reasons as you can to explain why the vermillion border is more prone to drying than the mucous membrane or facial skin.
