NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple: A simple epithelium means that there’s only one layer of cells. Stratified: A stratified epithelium is made up of more than one layer of cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple epithelium has only one cell layer where every cell is in direct contact with the underlying basement membrane. Generally, this type of epithelium is found inside the body probably due to the fragile nature and forms the lining of the body cavities, blood and lymph vessels, heart and respiratory system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Squamous means scale-like. 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.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Epithelium and Exocrine Glands Simple cuboidal epithelium consists of one layer of cells whose height roughly equals their width, so in sections perpendicular to the surface, cells resemble small box-like cubes. Cells in horizontal section appear to be a mosaic of polygonal tiles.
