    Epithelial tissues can be found throughout the body. It may be found in the skin, the stomach lining, and the intestine, kidneys, glands, and other bodily parts. It also has polyhedral cells that have aggregated and a minor quantity of extracellular matrix. The epithelial tissue is composed of different types namely simple squamous, simple cuboidal, simple columnar, pseudostratified, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, stratified columnar and transitional.

    • TYPES OF EPITHELIAL TISSUE
      • Simple epithelia – consist of a single layer of cells where each cell connects to the basement membrane.
      • Stratified epithelia – compromise more than one layer of cells. The cells on the basal surface are connected to the basement membrane. Whereas the partitions on the apical surface border an open space.
      • Pseudostratified epithelia – has single-cell layers that give an illusion of being stratified.
      • Squamous cells – They are flat cells with flat, disc-shaped nuclei
      • Cuboidal cells – cells appear cube with spherical, centrally located nuclei.
      • Columnar cells – these cells are higher than they are wide. Columnar cell nuclei are found on the basal surface and are typically oval, extending from top to bottom.
      • Transitional cells – has basal cells that are either cuboidal or columnar. The surface cells also appear dome-shaped or squamous-like, depending on how stretched the organ is.
