flat ephitelial cells
Explanation:
(3) the epithelial cells of normal urine, showing that a small number of epithelial cells, centrifuged urine per high power field shows the epithelial cells remain normal. Epithelial cells have a flat, transitional, small round epithelial cells. Flat epithelial cells, generally little clinical significance.

epithelial cells


Explanation:

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-epithelial-cells.htm

Epithelial cells are a group of tightly compressed cells that layers itself on the internal and external surfaces of bodily organs and other surfaces found in the body. As a collective term, these cells are also referred to as a tissue called epithelium. These cells are also the primary composition of human skin.

'Epithelial cells in urine

Different types of epithelial cells can be observed in urine. Some of these are readily identifiable, however it is difficult to distinguish small transitional epithelial cells from WBC and renal tubular epithelial cells from transitional epithelial cells. Thus, all non-squamous cells in urine are considered to be of transitional origin. When we are unsure about the origin of the cells in urine, we can stain a urine sediment with Wright's stain (or Diff-quik) and perform a cytologic examination on the urine sediment.

Epithelial cells are subjectively semi-quantified in urine (usually under low power using the 10x objective) as: none seen, few, moderate, many'
