they are flat cells. they can either be simple (one layer) or stratified (multiple layers)
Single Layer (Obviously)
Thin
Flat
Simple Squamous Is One-layered And Flattened .
The epidermis best represents squamous epithelium.
Simple, squamous epithelium which makes it easy for respiratory gases to diffuse across.
psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells and goblet cells
simple squamous epithelium
No. The term squamous means flat like a floor tile. Epithelium means a covering or lining with a free edge. Renal epithelium is simple epithelium and these cells are like cubes.

Simple squamous which is only one cell layer think, and stratified squamous which is composed of multiple layers. The best way to remember is to think that to squash something is to flatten it and squash and squamous are similar words.
psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cells and goblet cells
Simple columnar epithelium cells will heal faster than stratified squamous cells. The stratified squamous cells rarely have contact with blood.

Transitional epithelium contains cells that are flattened and cells that are cuboidal; hence the name "transitional". Stratified squamous is different from transitional epithelium since the shape of the individual cell is more hexagonal and contains flattened cells. Transitional epithelium have the capacity to stretch and flatten.
Stratified squamous epithelium
Multiple cell layers whose apical cells are flattened are stratified squamous. These are epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.
