“Squama” means scale of skin, reflecting the thin and flat nature of the cells in this type of epithelium.
In the context of simple squamous epithelium, “squama” refers to the flattened shape of the epithelial cells. These cells are thin and flattened, resembling scales or plates, allowing for efficient diffusion and filtration across the epithelial layer.
