Detailed explanation-1: -Pseudostratified (pseudo-= “false”) describes tissue with a single layer of irregularly shaped cells that give the appearance of more than one layer. Transitional describes a form of specialized stratified epithelium in which the shape of the cells can vary.
Detailed explanation-2: -The squamous epithelium is made of a single thin layer of flattened cells with irregular boundaries. They are found in the walls of blood vessels and air sacs of lungs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Simple columnar epithelium consists of a single layer of tall (columnar) cells. Simple columnar epithelium is usually involved in active secretion and/or absorption of material across the single cell layer, or (if ciliated) in movement along the surface.
