Q

How do the cells in stratified squamous epithelium get their shape?

A
  • basal layer of cells (cuboidal in shape) undergo division and replace cells that are lost
  • as these cells get pushed to the surface by other cells producing beneath them, they become squamous
  • outer layer of cells may become keratinized

Q

What is the structure of neutrophils?

A
  • bilobed nucleus
  • granular cytoplasm
54
