Flattened cells
Surface view rounded central nucleus
Cross section elongated nucleus
SIMPLE CUBOIDAL EPITHELIUM
Cuboidal cells (height almost the same
as width)
Central rounded nuclei
Surface view polygonal
SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM
Single layer of elongated cells
Height of cell > width of cell
Elongated basal nuclei
SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM
WITH GOBLET CELLS
Elongated column shaped cells (height
> width)
Elongated basal nuclei
Goblet cells have central and oval
nuclei
STRATIFIED CUBOIDAL
EPITHELIUM
Multilayered
Basal cells high cuboidal or low
columnar
Surface layer cuboidal
STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS NON
KERATINIZED EPITHELIUM
Surface squamous flattened cells
No keratin
Middle layer polygonal cells
Basal layer high cuboidal/low
columnar cells
PSEUDO STRATIFIED COLUMNAR
EPITHELIUM
Single layer of cells
Some cells are columnar; others are
cuboidal
Nuclei lying at different levels; give
the false appearance of stratified
epithelium
TRANSITIONAL EPITHELIUM
Basal layer of cuboidal cells
Next, four layers of polygonal cells
Next, two layers of pear shaped cells
Upper most layer of umbrella shaped
cells

fasciculus of nerve)
