squamous cell
A squamous cell is a type of thin, flat cell that primarily constitutes the outer layer of skin (the epidermis), as well as the lining of body cavities such as the mouth, throat, and esophagus, and the walls of organs such as the lungs and kidneys. These cells are also present in the cervix. It is called "squamous" because its shape is similar to that of a scale or a flattened layer. They are important in providing protection to underlying tissues. Any cancer that originates from these cells is termed as squamous cell carcinoma.
