GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Stratified: A stratified epithelium is made up of more than one layer of cells. Pseudostratified: A pseudostratified epithelium is made up of closely packed cells that appear to be arranged in layers because they’re different sizes, but there’s actually just one layer of cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stratified squamous keratinising epithelium There are around 8-10 layers of cells. It’s difficult to see the basal lamina in the region of the dividing cells, in the basal layer. Notice how the cells become more flattened towards the top (apical) layer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epithelia composed of a single layer of cells is called simple epithelia; epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers is called stratified epithelia.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stratified squamous epithelium consists of a single basal layer containing stem cells, 2–3 layers of proliferative basaloid cells in the suprabasal region, and larger keratinized cells toward the surface.
