Classification based on Functions

Stratified Columnar Column-shaped cells arranged in multiple layers.

flattened cells Squamous Have several layers due to various positioning of cell nucleic.
Classification based on Arrangement Pseudostratified Columnar
Classification based on Shape Layers of tall narrow cells, appears stratified but is not.
