3. Both shape and arrangement of layers of cells can classify epithelial tissues. There are four basic shapes of connective tissue cells. Squamous cells are flat and connect to each other like tiles. Cuboidal cells are thicker and can be described as cubed or hexagonal shape. Columnar cells are cylindrical and tall. Transitional cells range in shape. They can change shape du to stretching or movement of body parts. Epithelial tissue can also be classified by layers of cells. A single epithelium is just a single layer of cells, which is found in areas where passive and active movement of molecules is needed. Stratified epithelium consists of two or more layers and is used for protection of underlying tissues. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium tissue looks multilayered, but is actually only a single layer. Not all cells reach the surface and tho
