Simple Squamous Epithelium

(single layer of tightly packed cells)

Looser packed cells are connective tissue

Stratified Squamous Epithelium

Consists of many layers of cells

Lighter stained cells are connective tissue

Simple Columnar Epithelium

Single layer of tightly packed elongated cells. Nuclei tend to line up in a row

Stratified Columnar Epithelium

Consists of a layer of elongated cells overlaying cuboidal cells--rare

Looser packed cells are connective tissue

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

(with microvilli)

Actually a single layer of columnar tissue but the nuclei do not line up making the tissue layer appear stratified

Transitional Epithelium

When the tissue stretches the cells become thinner and appear to be cuboidal or squamous

Underlying connective tissue are laying horizontally
