Stratified squamous, nonkeratinized (moist) 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 for underlying tissues from surface friction and trauma. Esophagus, 400x
