What type of cell is best suited for areas subject to friction?

Q: What epithelium is best suited for areas subject to friction?

Answer and Explanation: An epithelium built to withstand friction is stratified squamous (b). This is characterized by multiple layers of cells, with a basal layer that is composed of dividing cells and an apical layer consisting of keratinized squamous cells.

What epithelium is best suited for areas subject to friction?

Answer and Explanation: An epithelium "built" to withstand friction is stratified squamous (b). This is characterized by multiple layers of cells, with a basal layer that is composed of dividing cells and an apical layer consisting of keratinized squamous cells.

What type of cells form in areas of high friction?

Anatomy Tissues Review.

What cell reduces friction?

Serous Membranes Serous fluid lubricates the membrane and reduces friction and abrasion when organs in the thoracic or abdominopelvic cavity move against each other or the cavity wall. Serous membranes have special names given according to their location.

Which tissue protects from friction?

Cartilage at the end of your bones reduces friction and prevents them from rubbing together when you use your joints. It's also the main tissue in some parts of your body and gives them their structure and shape.
