Epithelial tissue can be classified according to cell shape and number of layers. One layer of cells is called simple and more than one layer is called stratified. Thin, flat, scaly cells are squamous. Cuboidal cells are either rounded or wide in shape. Columnar cells are taller than they are wide. Pseudostratified cells look like more than one layer because of the arrangements of the cells.
