Question
Some epithelia are pseudostratified. What does this mean?
Advertisements
Solution
Pseudostratified epithelial cells are columnar but unequal in size. Although the epithelium is single-layered yet it appears to be multilayered due to the fact that nuclei lie at different levels in different cells.
