    Glossary Stratified Epithelium

    Stratified epithelium is a type of tissue composed of multiple layers of cells, providing a protective barrier in various parts of the body, including the skin and mucous membranes. In the context of hair biology, stratified epithelium is relevant as it forms the outer layer of the hair follicle, contributing to the structural integrity and health of hair. Key distinguishing characteristics include its ability to regenerate quickly and its role in protecting underlying tissues from mechanical stress, pathogens, and dehydration.
