Classification of Epithelial Tissues Two simple rules 1.Shape of cells (always check the most superficial layer) Squamous (plate-like) Cuboidal Columnar Pseudostratified (appears to be multiple layers) 2.Number of layers Simple (one layer) Stratified (more than one layer) Transitional (cells change shape) 3/14/20163
