They are generally classified by size and shape
Epithelial tissue is classified according to:
1. The number of cell layers
- Simple
- Pseudostratified
- Stratified
2. The shape of the cells
- Squamous
- Cuboidal
- Columnar
- Mixed/Varied
3. Whether the cells are ciliated or unciliated
So examples of epithelial tissue using this classification would be
- Simple squamous (found in the lungs and kidneys)
- Simple cuboidal (found in the lining of the stomach and fallopian tubes)
- Ciliated pseudostratified columnar (found lining the nasal cavity)

How is epithelial tissue classified according to the number of cell layers?
There are four categories: Squamous â?? Cells are flat. Cuboidal â?? Cells are boxlike, with same height as width. Columnar â?? The cells are taller than wide. Transitional epithelium â?? Cells can vary from full/balloon-like to flattened, according to the distention of the organ they line. The three classifications by cell layers are: Simple - one cell thickness; Stratified - by appearance of uppermost cells; Pseudostratified - columnar structure that appears stratified, but isn't, due to the crowding of adjacent cells.
