EPTHELIAL TISSUE

CLASSIFICATION OF
EPITHELIAL CELLS
POLARITY IN EPITHELIAL
CELLS
How many cell layers appear
in a section depends on the
angle between the section
plane and the surface of the
epithelium.
A single surface is usually not
lined by several types of
epithelia, so the number of
epithelial cell layers will
normally be the smallest
number of layers visible
anywhere along the surface
lined by the epithelium.
