what are squamous epithelial cells
In anatomy, squamous epithelium (squama- + -ous) is that whose outermost (apical) layer consists of thin, flat cells called squamous epithelial cells.quamous epithelial tissue regenerates readily; it turns over (replaces old cells with new ones) every few weeks. The cells of the basal reserve only divide while replacing cells directly above. The cells that are produced by the basal layer are called parabasal transit amplifying (TA) cells.
