Detailed explanation-1: -Squamous epithelial cells are generally round, flat, and have a small, centrally located nucleus. The cell outline is slightly irregular, and cells fit together to form a covering or lining.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stratified squamous epithelium: This type of epithelium usually has protective functions, including protection against microorganisms from invading underlying tissue and/or protection against water loss. The outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) is made of stratified squamous epithelial cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Squamous cells are thin and flat, just like the scales after which they are named. They provide a smooth surface that avoids blood turbulence in the blood vessels and also allows fluids to easily flow over them.
