36a. Explain the difference between keratinized versus non-keratinized stratified squamous in terms of structure and function.
18a. Homoeostasis is the physiological processes that maintain the internal chemical,physical environment in a stable state
20b.The homoeostatic mechanism of the body functions as follows
30f. The goblet cells are the glands that are modified epithelial cells.Their function is to secrete the mucus which is rich in mucin.The name refers to their cup like structure.They come under the category of unicellular EXOCRINE glands
