GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Simple epithelium. Simple epithelium is a single layer of cells with every cell in direct contact with the basement membrane. It can serve many functions, including absorption, filtration and protection. The thinness of the epithelial barrier facilitates easy movement of molecules across into another compartment.

Detailed explanation-3: -simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat scale-shaped cells. Both the endothelial lining of blood vessels and the mesothelial lining of the body cavities are simple squamous epithelium. Try to identify the simple squamous epithelia in these pictures.

Detailed explanation-4: -Epithelial tissue that is only one cell thick is called the simple epithelium. Simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar and simple pseudostratified are four types of simple epithelium.
