Detailed explanation-1: -Based on the cell shape, epithelial tissue is classified into squamous, cuboidal or columnar. Depending on the number of layers, the tissue is divided into simple or stratified. Subclassifications include pseudostratified, ciliated or transitional.
Detailed explanation-2: -Types of epithelial cells based on their shape Different types of epithelial cells based on shape include: Squamous epithelium: Squamous epithelial cells are flat and sheet-like in appearance. Cuboidal epithelium: Cuboidal epithelial cells are cube-like in appearance, meaning they have equal width, height and depth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Epithelial cells come in different shapes depending on where in the body they’re found. These shapes are called squamous, cuboidal, columnar, and ciliated columnar. Squamous epithelial cells are flat and are usually found lining surfaces that require a smooth flow of fluid, such as your blood vessels.
