a. stratified squamous
b. stratified cuboidal
c. simple cuboidal d. simple columnar
e. pseudostratified columnar.
Shapes of Epithelial Cells:
Epithelial cells come in three shapes: squamous (flattened cells), cuboidal (cube-like cells), and columnar (pillar-shaped cells). Each of these cells is specialized to carry out functions like protection from mechanical abrasion.
