Answers
Answer:
Types of Epithelial Tissue
There are different types of epithelial tissue depending on their function in a particular location. The simplest classification of these tissues is based on the number of cell layers.
Simple epithelia
Stratified epithelia
pithelia can also be classified based on the shape of the cells, giving rise to three types:
Squamous epithelial tissue: consists of extremely thin cells that resemble the scales of a fish
Cuboidal epithelial tissue: contains cells that appear square in cross-section but are marginally longer than they are wide
Columnar epithelial tissue: consists of elongated cell involved in absorption of materials
The number of cell layers and cell types together give rise to 6 different types of epithelial tissue.
Simple squamous epithelia
Simple cuboidal epithelia
Simple columnar epithelia
Stratified squamous epithelia
Stratified cuboidal epithelia
Stratified columnar epithelia
