Answer:
Difference between squamous , cuboidal and columnar epitheliam cells :
• Squamous epithelium has cells that are wider than their height (flat and scale-like). This is found as the lining of the mouth, oesophagus, and including blood vessels and in the alveoli of the lungs.
• Cuboidal epithelium has cells whose height and width are approximately the same (cube shaped).
• Columnar epithelium has cells taller than they are wide (column-shaped).
By layer, epithelium is classed as either simple epithelium, only one cell thick (unilayered) or stratified epithelium having two or more cells in thickness or multi-layered.
