How many layers make up the pseudostratfied epithelium?
To be defined as stratified an epithelium must contain 2 or more layers of cells. There is not upper limit on how many layers it could contain but there must be at least two. The exact number of layers in any given epithelium is variable as statified epithelium is usually present in areas of wear and tear and so some layers are always being scraped of and other grown.
What type of epithelium is the diaphragm covered with?
The epithelial layer of the serous membrane is known as the mesothelium and consists of a single layer of simple squamous epithelium which produce the serous fluid. These cells are bound tightly to the second and underlying connective tissue.
