Stratified squamous, nonkeratinized epithelium

This image demonstrates the transition of epithelial cells from proliferating, cuboidal cells at the basement membrane to squamous cells at the surface.  The multiple cell layers of this stratified moist epithelium provide protection against friction and trauma to organs within the body.  Esophagus  400x
