I would have to dig way back into my memory in order to pass any testing on that stuff again. No way I would pass. Essentially though it is a cell that has a particular shape and binds together with other squamous cells in order to protect underlying tissue.
In the body there are 3 types of muscle. Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Injured cardiac muscle cannot be regenerated. Skeletal muscle is what most people think of as muscle. Things such as biceps, abs, pectorals, all the stuff that makes people look shapely and, well, muscular.
Smooth muscle is the internal stuff. The inside of your mouth, nose, thorax, private areas, and protective muscles of the organs which are not typically, readily visible.
Squamous cells lay under the epidermis and above the organs, sort of.
It is common that squamous cell cancers develop in the nose, inside the oral pharyngea, deeper inside the body.
I hope this helps. All of the stuff is almost certainly searchable on the Internet these days.
I personally never use Google, and in recent weeks I avoid Duck Duck Go. Somebody running that joint decided to go for a financial windfall but in so doing destroyed their reputation as an alternative to that evil Google operation.
If this keeps up, I will go back to the old fashioned Encyclopedias.

My most treasured possession is a set of 1962 Encyclopedia Britannica..Real facts on paper that cannot be altered. Anything digital can be altered.
