- squamous
- cuboidal
- columnar
- transitional

Students have asked these similar questions
What makes up a stratified epithelium?
a single layer of cells of variable height
squamous cells overlying cuboidal cells
alternating layers of thick and thin cells
multiple layers of cells, stacked from the basolateral side to the apical side
a tight layer of square cells attached to a basement membrane
Epithelial sheets are classified by their number of cell layers and their cell shape. In the following table, draw simplified illustrations of the eight classifications. In each illustration, identify the cells, nuclei, and basement membrane. For the stratified epithelia, you only need to draw two or three cell layers, as shown in the stratified cuboidal epithelium example provided in the table.
Simple squamous Stratified squamous
Simple cuboidal Stratified cuboidal
Simple columnar Stratified columnar
Pseudostratified columnar Transitional
When looking at a slide of epithelial tissue under the microscope, you see several clearly defined layers of flat-shaped cells. Which of the following best describes the type of epithelial tissues viewed?
simple squamous
stratified squamous
simple cuboidal
stratified cuboidal
psuedostratified columnar
