Multiple layers of cube-shaped cells
B
Single layer of cube-shaped cells

검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand the basic structure of epithelial tissues: Epithelial tissues are classified based on the number of cell layers and the shape of the cells. The main types are simple (one layer) and stratified (multiple layers).
Identify the shape of the cells: Cuboidal cells are cube-shaped, meaning they have approximately equal height, width, and depth.
Determine the number of layers: Simple epithelium consists of a single layer of cells, while stratified epithelium has multiple layers.
Apply these characteristics to the options given: Look for the option that describes a single layer of cube-shaped cells, as this matches the definition of simple cuboidal epithelium.
Eliminate incorrect options: Discard options that describe multiple layers or different cell shapes, such as columnar or flat cells, as they do not fit the definition of simple cuboidal epithelium.
