squamous epithelium consists of a single layer of flat cells. It is found in lungs,heart and blood vessels.It allows the movement of materials across it.
stratified epithelium has many layer of flat cells.It is present in lining of oesophagus and mouth and also over the skin
In a simple epithelium the cells form a single layer and are all attached to the basement membrane. A stratified epithelium consists of multiple layers of cells in which only the basal layer is attached to the basement membrane. Hope it helps
