The function of this type of tissue is protection.Examples of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium include corneal epithelium, lining mucosa of the oral cavity, oesophagus, anal canal, ectocervix, vagina, foreskin, and the internal poion of the lips. Moist areas don&;t need protection from desiccation and are therefore nonkeratinized.
