cuboidal cells - (Feb/10/2009 )

I have a basic question about cuboidal cells. Does cuboidal mean that they have the same diameter and thickness?

ye, they are cube like.

Unlike Physics, Biology doesn't allow exact lengths and widths. So, don't look for 5x5 kind of measurments.

Anything that is not Squamous (flat cells), and not Columnar (tall cells), are considered cuboidal.
