There are 3 types of epithelial cells based on their shape:
1. Squamous epithelium cells appear flat and sheet-like.
2. Cuboidal epithelium cells appear cube-like.
3. Columnar epithelium appear column-like, which means they are taller than they are wider.
There are also types which based on their arrangements:
1. Simple – one layer of cells
2. Stratified – made up of more than one layer of cells
3. Transitional – a type of stratified epithelium that transitions from cuboidal when relaxed to squamous when stretched.
4. Pseudostratified – closely packed cells that appear to be arranged in layers but of different sizes. They are actually just one layer and is distinguishable by the presence of goblet cells.
