The type of epithelial tissue that is found in the epidermis of the  skin is called stratified squamous epithelium. The dermis consists  of connective tissue.
Thus, an epithelium with a single layer of flattened cells is called a simple squamous epithelium. If the shape of the cells is not identical in the various layers of a stratified epithelium, it is the outermost layer (ie at the free surface) that determines the classification.or example, the epidermis is called a stratified squamous epithelium even though the cells in the basal layers are cuboidal, because the outermost layer of cells is squamous. Images of different types of epithelia are shown below.
