No, simple epithelium does not always consist of a layer of flat cells. Simple epithelium can consist of various cell shapes, including squamous (flat), cuboidal (cube-shaped), and columnar (column-shaped) cells. The choice of cell shape depends on the specific function and location of the epithelium.
