Squamous epithelium look like flattened cells that fit together like tiles.
it s under simple squamous epithelium; mesothelium
Multiple cell layers whose apical cells are flattened are stratified squamous. These are epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.
1. squamous (flattened) 2. cuboidal (cube-shaped) 3. columnar
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.
Stratified squamous epithelium
Squamous epithelium look like flattened cells that fit together like tiles.
stratified squamous epithelium
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.

Multiple cell layers whose apical cells are flattened are stratified squamous. These are epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.
Epithelial cells take three different shapes. The first is squamous, flattened like pancakes. The second is cuboidal, or cube-shaped. The third is column-shaped, or columnar.

they are flat cells. they can either be simple (one layer) or stratified (multiple layers)
