Stratified Columnar Epithelium Tissue
A comprehensive fun and entertaining site devoted exclusively to histology.
Stratified columnar epithelium tissue. Stratified cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers of cube shaped cells. Only the most superficial layer is made up of cuboidal. Epithelium p o i l i e m is one of the four basic types of animal tissue along with connective tissue muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue comprises one of the four basic tissue types.
The others are connective tissue support cells immune cells blood. A stratified squamous epithelium consists of more than one typically many layers or strata of epithelial cells see figure. Squamous epithelium the surface cells are flat. In stratified cuboidal epithelium the surface cells are cubical or round.
And in stratified columnar. Simple columnar epithelial membranes consist of a single layer of columnar epithelial cells resting on a basement membrane. Simple cuboidal epithelium epithelial tissue one layer of cube shaped cells more picky than simple squamous epi and does not take as much wear as simple columnar epi.
