Question

Is squamous epithelial tissue found inside the cheeks and stratified columnar tissue found in the small and large intestines?

Answer 1

Stratfied squamous cells are found in the lining of the mouth, esophagus and anus and simple columnar lines the alimentary canal from the stomach to the rectum.

Explanation:

Simple columnar epithelial cells can specialize to secret mucus that coats and protects the surrounding surface from damage.
Stratified squamous cells provide protection against:
mechanical friction - rubbing and physical trauma from external sources
chemical damage - environmental and internal chemicals/compounds degrading epithelial lining
