Epithelial cells size and layering

Illustration comparing different types of epithelial cells based on their shape and layering. Cell types shown are cuboidal, squamous, columnar and transitional. Each example demonstrates whether the cells are arranged in a single (simple) layer or multiple (stratified) layers. Pseudostratified is displayed as seemingly multilayered.

A vertically oriented diagram displays eight cross-sectional views of different epithelial cell arrangements against a white background. From top to bottom, cells are categorized and displayed as cuboidal, squamous, columnar, and transitional and displayed in simple, stratified, and pseudostratified layers. Each depiction includes labeled text indicating the cell type and whether it is simple or stratified. Colors vary between examples (grey, pink, salmom etc.).
