The cells of epithelial tissue present with several common physical characteristics. In some epithelial tissue one or more of those characteristics may be more important than others. While considering the stratified epithelium that lines the mouth and esophagus, please discuss and provide a sound rationale for at least three common characteristics you think are the most important for this particular tissue. Make sure to relate these physical characteristics to the functions of these two organs.
