The primary purpose of stratification in the epithelial tissue is for increased protection.

Epithelial tissue is one of the four basic types of tissue present in animals such as humans. Its functions vary depending on the type of cell componing the epithelium and by the number of layers this tissue has.

If we differentiate epithelia by number of layers, we can observe:

In conclusion, the parts of the body where we need the most protection against chemical or mechanical factors, are the organs where we will have stratified epithelium.

im not in connections yet but i might can you some questions. what grade are you in?

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
