A term that describes a particular shape of an epithelial cell. In the vagina, the epithelium is squamous.
name given to the cells that line the vagina
A type of thin and flat cells which eventually shed, such as that found in the outer layers of the skin.
Flat cells located in the middle layer of the epidermis, and that make keratin, an important skin protein.
A flat, scale-like cell that is an important part of our skin.
A flat, scaly cell without cilia. Certain kinds of lung damage, including bronchiectasis, result in the replacement of ciliated cells with squamous cells; impaired airway clearance results.
A type specialised cell, which lines the vagina and outer layers of the cervix
Flat, scale-like cells that form lining.
Type of flat skin cells that cover the outside and inside of the body. Many cancers are squamous cell cancer.
the primary cell types found in the epidermis, the outer layer of skin.
Flat cells that constitute the surface of the skin.
Squamous cells are thin, flat cells that form the lining of the cervix.
Flat skin cells that cover the outside and line the inside of the body. Many cancers start in squamous cells.
flat cells that look like scales or plates through a microscope. They make up the tissue that covers or lines the inside parts of the body.
flat cells that make up most of the epidermis
(SKWAY-mus): Flat cells that look like fish scales under a microscope. These cells cover internal and external surfaces of the body.
Flat cells found in the outer layer of the skin.
Flat cells that look like fish scales. These cells are found in the tissue that forms the surface of the skin, the lining of the hollow organs of the body, and the passages of the respiratory and digestive tracts.
Flat cells in the top layer of the skin.
see keratinocytes.
thin and flat cells, shaped like soft fish scales. Layers of them make up skin-like epithelium. In the cervix they form the skin on the outer surface of the cervix (ectocervix).
Flat cells that look like fish scales. The word "squamous" came from the Latin squama meaning "the scale of a fish or serpent." See the entire definition of Squamous cells
Squamous cells are flat keratinocytes that arise as the epidermal cells mature and move upwards towards the skin surface. They are also called spinous or prickle cells.
Layers of flat scaly cells that form the skin on the outer surface of the cervix.
