Cell shapes: columnar

Columnar cells are shaped like columns and, as such, are much taller than they are wide. The oval nucleus conforms to the cell’s shape, with its long axis parallel to the height of the cell. The lateral cell boundaries are also visible in this section. This single row of columnar cells lines the digestive tract. Small intestine  1000x
