How is epithelial tissue classified according to the number of cell layers?

∙ 11y ago
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.

∙ 11y agoEpithelial tissue is classified as either simple or stratified depending upon the number of layers. Simple squamous tissues are epithelial tissues with only one cell layer while stratified squamous tissues are epithelial tissues with more than one layer.
There is another special type of epithelial tissue called transitional squamous cells. They are found lining the urinary bladder and they can transition between having multiple layers (when the bladder is empty) to having a single layer (when the bladder is full).

How does a simple epithelial tissue differ from a stratified epithelial tissue in structure?
Their apparent number of layers;simple epithelium with a single-layer offer less protection than Stratified epithelium having multiple layers. Also, simple epithelium functions in moving materials across its surface.

How are bulls classified?
Bulls are classified by breed, age, weight, temperament and genetic merit according to the type of genetics they can contribute to a cow herd, i.e., whether they can be used as terminal sires or maternal sires. Bulls can also be classified according to how accurate their genetic merits are according to the number of calves they have sired. They can also be classified according to genetic quality and conformation. Bad bulls will generally sell for cheaper than good proven bulls; often bad bulls will be sold to the butcher.
