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]
Simple columnar epithelium is further divided into two categories: ciliated and non-ciliated (glandular). The ciliated part of the simple columnar epithelium has tiny hairs which help move mucus and other substances up the respiratory tract.

The study of microscopic anatomy (or histology) can be aided by practical experience examining histological preparations (or slides) under a microscope; and in addition, medical and dental students generally also learn anatomy with practical experience of dissection and inspection of cadavers (dead human bodies).
A stratified squamous epithelium consists of squamous (flattened) epithelial cells arranged in layers upon a basal membrane.Only one layer is in contact with the basement membrane; the other layers adhere to one another to maintain structural integrity.
Another word for muscle pain, myalgia affects muscles, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissues. In clinical trials of Cialis, one to four percent of men reported muscle pain as an adverse effect.
The corneal epithelium (epithelium corneae anterior layer) is made up of epithelial tissue and covers the front of the cornea.It acts as a barrier to protect the cornea, resisting the free flow of fluids from the tears, and prevents bacteria from entering the epithelium and corneal stroma.
