When an epithelial tissue is multiple layered and made of cells that are taller than they are wide what are they called?

cuboidal


Do plant cells have a spindle?

No. Almost all plant and animal cells are Eukaryotic, and there are a wide variety of shapes, from the long and slender sperm to a rigid cuboid epithelial cell.


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

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.


Which has the smallest diameter squamous epithelium red blood cells smooth muscle cells or sperm?

== == I do not know about epithelial cells but i do know this: Red blood cells are the smallest ones measuring about 6 or 7 um. Sperm cells are also very small(25um) but are big compared to red blood cells. Its dificult to compare these cells to muscle cells because they are long but skinny. ________________________________________ (New to this answers thing, don't feel comfortable deleting other people's stuff) I just did a bio lab and these are my measurements: Red blood cells: 8µm wide; 10µm long Sperm cells: 2µmwide; 10µm long (known to vary) Striated muscle (This is skeletal muscle, like a bicep; I don't know how it compares to smooth muscle and they really varied in length) 40µm wide; 430µm long Cheek epithelial cells: 59µm wide; 63µm long


What tissue has cells that are longer than wide?

No. Almost all plant and animal cells are Eukaryotic, and there are a wide variety of shapes, from the long and slender sperm to a rigid cuboid epithelial cell.
