Vedclass · Answer

(D) Compound epithelium consists of two or more cell layers and has a protective function in our skin and other organs. $1$. It is multi-layered,which provides protection against chemical and mechanical stresses. $2$. It covers the dry surface of the skin and the moist surface of the buccal cavity,pharynx,and inner lining of ducts of salivary glands and pancreatic ducts. $3$. Due to its multi-layered structure,its role in secretion and absorption is very limited. $4$. It does not produce hormones. Therefore,the statement that it 'Produces hormone only' is incorrect.
