May I know whether the following assertion and reason are true or false. PLEASE!
Dear Student
11. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Simple epithelium does not cover surfaces exposed to mechanical or chemical abrasions. This is because it is made up of a single layer of cells hence it is not effective in protecting the underlying tissue. This occurs mainly on secretory and absorptive surfaces. Compound epithelium which is multilayered is effective in providing protection to underlying tissues, hence covers the surfaces exposed to mechanical and chemical abrasions.
