Epithelium or epithelial tissue is a thin, continuous, protective layer of cells with little extracellular matrix. An example is the epidermis , the outermost layer of the skin . Epithelial ( mesothelial ) tissues line the outer surfaces of many internal organs , the corresponding inner surfaces of body cavities , and the inner surfaces of ...

Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, image highlights the epithelial nucleuses, rest of the epithelial layer, underlying connective tissue and other epithelia
Simple columnar epithelium is a single layer of columnar epithelial cells which are tall and slender with oval-shaped nuclei located in the basal region, attached to the basement membrane.

Image of the mucosa of the stomach, showing an epithelium (at top, and also facing the elongated cavities) made up of column-shaped cells. The epithelial lining of the mucosa, differs along the gastrointestinal tract. [1]
A simple squamous epithelium, also known as pavement epithelium and tessellated epithelium, is a single layer of flattened, polygonal cells in contact with the basal lamina (one of the two layers of the basement membrane) of the epithelium. [1]
Stratified cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers of cube-shaped cells. Only the most superficial layer is made up of cuboidal cells, and the other layers can be cells of other types. Topmost layer of skin epidermis in frogs, fish is made up of living cuboidal cells
