GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Stratified: A stratified epithelium is made up of more than one layer of cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nuclei are arranged at different levels in the layer of cells, making it appear as though there is more than one layer, as seen in Figure 4. This is called pseudostratified, columnar epithelia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelium that appears to be stratified but instead consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped and differently sized columnar cells. In pseudostratified epithelium, nuclei of neighboring cells appear at different levels rather than clustered in the basal end.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Pseudostratified epithelium appears to be stratified because the nuclei of the epithelial cells are at different levels. However, every cell is in contact with the basement membrane, but not all cells reach the lumen.
