Epithelial cells in the skin are arranged in many layers to prevent wear and tear.
The arrangement of epithelial cells in the skin as stratified squamous epithelium provides protection against mechanical stress, abrasion, and dehydration. The multiple layers of cells help reinforce the epidermis, forming a barrier that defends against pathogens and prevents water loss.
