Detailed explanation-1: -Stratified epithelia contain two or more layers of cells. The function of this type of epithelium is mostly protective-the higher the number of layers, the more protective it is. It is good at withstanding abrasion. This type of epithelium is constantly renewing itself.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transitional epithelium: A transitional epithelium (also known as urothelium) is made up of several layers of cells that become flattened when stretched.
Detailed explanation-3: -Simple epithelial tissues are generally classified by the shape of their cells. The four major classes of simple epithelium are: 1) simple squamous; 2) simple cuboidal; 3) simple columnar; and 4) pseudostratified.
Detailed explanation-4: -Epithelial cells may be squamous, cuboidal, or columnar in shape and may be arranged in single or multiple layers. Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in glandular tissue and in the kidney tubules.
