A multiple layer of flattened epithelial cells represents what cell type?

∙ 14y ago
Stratified squamous has multiple layers of cells, the outermost layer of which contains squamous cells. There are two varieties: nonkeratinized (e.g., lining of vagina) and keratinized, in which the superficial cell layers have been transformed into a hard layer of nonliving keratin (e.g., epidermis of skin).

Flattened cells important in protection?
epithelial cells
Name the flattened cells important in protection that fit together like tiles?
Epithelial cells
A primary oocyte is closely surrounded by flattened epithelial cells called?
follicular
What multilayered epithelium with cuboidal basal cells and flat cells at its surface would be classified as?
Multiple cell layers whose apical cells are flattened are stratified squamous. These are epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.
Epithelial tissues with flattened cells are called?
Squamous epithelium (or) pavement epithelium which tend to have horizontally flattened, elliptical nuclei because of the thin flattened form of the cell. which are found on the lining of cavities like mouth, blood vessels, heart and lungs and make up the outer layers of the skin.

What is the function of epithelial cell in animal cells?
Epithelial cells have several functions. They line, protect, and form different glands. Epithelial cells have three shapes: flattened, cube, and elongated.
What multilayered epithelium with cuboidal basal cells and flat cells at its surface would be classified as?
Multiple cell layers whose apical cells are flattened are stratified squamous. These are epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.
What epithelial tissue is more than one layer thick and surface cells are flattened?
stratified squamous epithelium
Epithelial tissues with flattened cells are called?
Squamous epithelium (or) pavement epithelium which tend to have horizontally flattened, elliptical nuclei because of the thin flattened form of the cell. which are found on the lining of cavities like mouth, blood vessels, heart and lungs and make up the outer layers of the skin.
Is the alveoli comprised of millions of cells?
No, alveoli consist of flattened epithelial cells which make the diffusion rate faster (by the reducing the distance the path that oxygen has to diffuse through).
What are the flattened cells important in protection that fit together like tiles?
Well, there lots of shapes, but three common forms are cuboidal shaped cells (which are like cubes), squamous cells (which are like cuboidal except flattened), and then there are columnar cells (which are shaped like columns).As for the flattened cells that are important for protection, this is clearly referring to squamous epithelial cells. Every lumen of our bodies has a layer of epithelium surrounding it, partly for protection. The cells of these layers can be a variety of shapes, but squamous is common. Skin, for example, is squamous epithelial tissue. And yes, these cells fit together like tiles, so their shape is very important to the barrier function they serve. Epithelial cells can form different kinds of junctions between each other. One type, called a 'tight junction', causes the cells to bind to each other extremely closely.
When an epithelial tissue is multiple layered and made of cells that are taller than they are wide what are they called?
cuboidal
What kind of epithelial do Multiple rows of cells covering a tissue in which the cells are the same shape from the basement membrane to the surfaces have?
stratified cuboidal
What are renal epithelial cells?
Renal epithelial cells are the cells lining the renal tubules.
