A histology illustration shows multilayered squamous epithelial tissue forming a protective lining. Flattened apical cells overlie polygonal intermediate layers and a basal cell layer anchored to the basement membrane (BM), supported by vascularized connective tissue and extracellular matrix (ECM). In the biological hierarchy, it is a tissue component within organ walls and external or internal body surfaces. In anatomy and physiology, it functions as a barrier resisting mechanical abrasion and microbial invasion. The site depicted includes the epithelial surface, basement membrane, and underlying connective stroma.
