Explanation:
Epithelia 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
