It is the epithelium that spreads in a pavement like form; hence this type is also called pavement epithelium. Squamous epithelial cells are flat, scale like, often polygonal, spread over in a sheet like manner over an underlying membrane. The inner surface of the epithelial layer is therefore rested over the basement membrane while the outer surface is exposed.

All these are possible characteristics of epithelium tissues.

It is the epithelium that spreads in a pavement like form; hence this type is also called pavement epithelium. Squamous epithelium is the most common type of epithelium that lines the mouth cavity, inner surface of the oesophagus, inner lining of kidney tubules, the inner wall of the blood vessels, etc. Squamous epithelium is protective in function.

It is the epithelium that spreads in a pavement-like form; hence this type is also called pavement epithelium. Squamous epithelium is the most common type of epithelium that lines the mouth cavity, inner surface of the oesophagus, inner lining of kidney tubules, the inner wall of the blood vessels, etc. Squamous epithelium is protective in function.

Squamous epithelium is the most common type of epithelium that lines the mouth cavity, inner surface of the oesophagus, inner lining of kidney tubules, the inner wall of the blood vessels, etc. In frogs, where the skin is smooth and moist, it contains the epithelial lining over the outer surface of the squamous type. Squamous epithelium is protective in function. Being at the outer extremity, it protects the underlying tissues from the probable exposure to harmful chemicals, germs, etc.

Squamous epithelial cells have a clear cytoplasm and a centrally lodged spherical nucleus. The adjacent cells are all closely packed and intercellular substance is very little.

Ciliated epithelium is the epithelial tissue that has cilia over the free surface of its cells. This epithelium is similar to columnar epithelium. The cells however have cilia over their free surface. These cilia are in constant movement.

Such an epithelium is seen over the inner lining of the tubes that form the respiratory tract and are also seen over the lining of oviducts.
