| | Squamous cells are basically types of cells which can be identified histologically by the fact that they look flattened and thin under a microscope. | | | In simple squamous epithelia all the cells are in contact with the basal lamina (basement membrane) of the epithelium whereas in stratified squamous epithelia the cells which line the epithelium are arranged in layers and as such some (most) won't be in contact with the basement membrane. | | | They are one of the cell types which comprise an epithelium. |
