Detailed explanation-1: -A pseudostratified epithelium is a type of epithelium that, though comprising only a single layer of cells, has its cell nuclei positioned in a manner suggestive of stratified epithelia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pseudostratified epithelium one layer of cells, but the nuclei are at different heights, so it looks as though it is more than one layer. These epithelia usually have goblet cells present.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pseudostratified columnar epithelia appear to be stratified because there seems to be more than one row of nuclei, but, in fact, it is a single layer of cells with the nuclei at different levels.
Detailed explanation-4: -There is also an exception, a single layered epithelium that appears multilayered under the microscope because the nuclei of the cells are at different levels. It is called pseudostratified (as in fake-looking stratified).
Detailed explanation-5: -Pseudostratified epithelia consist of a single layer of cells, but due to the different heights of the cells, it gives.
