The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the type of tissue characterized by the given statements, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the Statements The question provides two key statements about the tissue: 1. It is present in the dry surface of the skin and the moist surface of the buccal cavity. 2. Its main function is to provide resistance to mechanical and chemical stress. ### Step 2: Identify Possible Tissue Types We need to consider different types of epithelial tissues: - **Simple Squamous Epithelium**: Thin and flat, typically found in areas requiring diffusion or filtration, not suitable for resistance. - **Simple Ciliated Epithelium**: Contains cilia, mainly found in respiratory tracts, not relevant here. - **Glandular Epithelium**: Specialized for secretion, not primarily protective. - **Compound Epithelium**: Multi-layered, provides protection against mechanical and chemical stress. ### Step 3: Match Characteristics with Tissue Types - The **compound epithelium** is known for its protective functions and is found in areas exposed to friction and abrasion, such as the skin (dry surface) and the buccal cavity (moist surface). - The other types do not match both criteria. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the correct type of tissue that fits both statements is **compound epithelium**. ### Final Answer The correct answer is **Compound Epithelium**. ---
