A stratified squamous epithelium contains many sheets of cells, where the cells in the apical layer and several layers present deep to it are squamous, but the cells in deeper layers vary from cuboidal to columnar. Epithelium composed of a series of layers, the cells of each varying in size and shape, where only the basal layer of cells comes in contact with the basement membrane. In stratified epithelium, which is found in the epithelium of the skin and of many mucous membranes ( e.g., mouth, esophagus, rectum, conjunctiva, vagina), the surface cells are flattened, those of the middle layer are polyhedral, and.

Transitional epithelium lines the urinary bladder;
This epithelium lines parts of the respiratory passages, the vas deferens, and the epididymis.
Epithelium made up of cells that reach the basement membrane and appear to be stratified because their nuclei are at different levels. All cells are attached to the basement membrane. Keratin is deposited on the surface. The human body is composed of four basic types of tissues, epithelium being one of them.
Stratified squamous epithelium is a tissue composed of flat cells that are stacked tightly together.
Underlying cell layers can be made of cuboidal or columnar cells as well. Definition of stratified cuboidal epithelium. Stratified stratified epithelium consists of two or more cell layers. An epithelial tissue comprised of more than one layer of epithelial cells is known as a stratified epithelium.
Transitional epithelium is a stratified tissue made of multiple cell layers, where the cells constituting the tissue can change shape depending on the distention in the organ.
Membranous tissue composed of one or more layers of cells separated by very little intercellular substance and forming the covering of most internal and external surfaces of the body and its organs. Alternately, they can also appear cuboidal with a rounded shape when the fluid. Stratified (definition) more than one layer of cells. Consists of one layer of cells that are all attached to the basement membrane, but not all extend to the free surface.
The difference between it and a simple epithelium is that the latter has just one layer of epithelial cells.
For example, it has roles. As the most important difference between the simple epithelium and the stratified epithelium is the number of the layer of cells, the functions of these layers also. Of, relating to, or being an epithelium consisting of closely packed cells which appear to be arranged in layers but all of which are in fact attached to the basement membrane other words from pseudostratified When the organ is filled with fluid, cells on the topmost layer of this epithelium can stretch and appear flattened.
In the case of stratified squamous epithelium cells in the layers below may differ from the epithelium on top.
The stratified epithelium’s basal layer is the only one in touch with the basal lamina. The surface layer of it consists of dead cells. When breaking down the different words, it is easier to understand. The stratified squamous epithelium consists of squamous (flattened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.
Stratified squamous epithelium is a type of tissue found covering and lining parts of the body.
A stratified epithelium is a kind of epithelial tissue that consists of several layer of epithelial cells. The stratified columnar epithelium consists of many layers of cells, where the cells in the deeper layers are irregular and of different shapes. This layer can also be the one which undergoes mitotic division producinh cells within the upper layers. In this tissue, cells are flattened, joined tightly together, and stacked.
The cells in the stratified columnar epithelium, as in the case of simple columnar epithelium are taller than they are wide.
The term derives from the type of cells at the surface, for example, stratified squamous epithelium, stratified columnar epithelium, stratified cilliated columnar epithelium. It is present on almost every part of the human body, hence it has several important functions. A stratified squamous epithelium is a tissue formed from multiple layers of cells resting on a basement membrane, with the superficial layer(s) consisting of squamous cells. Keratinized epithelium forms an effective barrier.
There are also two types of specialized stratified.
A type of simple epithelium that appears to be stratified, but is not. The stratified cuboidal epithelium is composed of multiple layers of cells, in which the topmost layer is composed of cuboidal cells, while the lower layer could be columnar or cuboidal. Some cells don't reach the apical surface. Its appearance depends upon whether the bladder is contracted or distended.
The stratified squamous epithelium consists of several layers of cells, where the cells in the apical layer and several layers present deep to it are squamous, but the cells in deeper layers vary from cuboidal to columnar.
The basal layer is the only person that’s in touch with the basal lamina. Nuclei are at different levels so it looks stratified. In stratified ciliated epithelium the superficial cells are ciliated and columnar. Special protein/carbohydrate secretion of epithelial tissues that attaches it to other tissue types.
Epithelium (as of the urinary bladder) consisting of several layers of cells which become flattened when stretched (as when the bladder is distended)
Cuboidal (definition) about equal in.
