Carcinoma such as squamous cell carcinoma
Another name for squamous epithelium is "pavement epithelium" because the cells are flat and resemble tiles on a floor.
Simple squamous epithelium has the shortest diffusion distance due to its thin structure, allowing for rapid diffusion of substances across the epithelium.
Simple squamous epithelium is also known as pavement epithelium due to its thin, flattened shape resembling a pavement. It is found in areas where filtration or diffusion is the primary function, such as in the alveoli of the lungs and the lining of blood vessels.
Covering epithelium covers body surfaces and components of organs, providing protection, absorption, or secretion. Lining epithelium lines cavities and tubes, serving similar functions as covering epithelium but in a different location. Glandular epithelium forms glands that secrete substances such as hormones or enzymes into the blood or cavities.
The epithelial tissues are categorized into simple epithelium (one layer of cells), stratified epithelium (multiple layers of cells), squamous epithelium (flat cells), cuboidal epithelium (cube-shaped cells), and columnar epithelium (elongated cells). Epithelial tissues can be further classified based on their specific cell shape and function, such as ciliated epithelium, glandular epithelium, or transitional epithelium.
Ninety percent of all ovarian cancers develop in the cells lining the surface, or epithelium, of the ovaries and so are called epithelial cell tumors.

The secretory epithelium is a part of the skin and associated with the sweat glands.
Together, colon and rectal cancers account for 10% of cancers in men and 11% of cancers in women

epithelium or epithelial cells
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.
