A cell's volume is the amount of material that can fit into the cell. A cell's surface area is the total amount of material that makes up the outside of the cell. The ratio of surface area to volume is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects.
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
Look in the book broseff.
As a cell becomes larger the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller. The volume increases by the square of the surface area. That is the main reason that one celled organisms are small.
The larger the surface area to volume ratio of a cell, the smaller its size (and vice versa).

Columnar cells are cells in which their height is at least four times their width. A Cuboidal Cell is a cell a cube-like shape where its width is about equal to its height.
Lets say the cell is cuboidal. The surface area of a 1 inch cube is (1X1) 6 or 6 square inches. The volume of the cell is HXWXH or 1X1X1 or 1 cubic inch. The ratio of surface area to volume is 6:1.
* Simple Cuboidal Epithelium. As their name implies, cuboidal cells are roughly square or cuboidal in shape. Each cell has a spherical nucleus in the centre. Cuboidal epithelium is found in glands and in the lining of the kidney tubules as well as in the ducts of the glands. They also constitute the germinal epitheliumwhich produces the egg cells in the female ovary and the sperm cells in the male testes.
Glial cells are not a type of epithelial cell. Glial cells are a type of support cell in the nervous system, while squamous, columnar, and cuboidal cells are types of epithelial cells that line surfaces and cavities in the body.
Squamous , cuboidal , stratified , columnar , pseudostratified are types of epithelial cells .
Simple cuboidal epithelium is a one-cell layer of cuboidal cells (equal sides) that are found in many glands and ducts and forms “tubes” or ducts.
Packed cell volume (PCV) measures the volume occupied by red blood cells in a given volume of blood, expressed as a percentage. Red cell count, on the other hand, measures the number of red blood cells in a specific volume of blood, typically expressed in millions per microliter. Essentially, PCV gives a percentage of red blood cell concentration in blood, while red cell count quantifies the actual number of red blood cells.

Simple epithelium is characterized by being only one cell layer thick. It is found in areas where absorption, secretion, and filtration occur.
Basement membrane is another name for the fibrous connective tissue found in simple cuboidal epithelium. It provides structural support and helps anchor the epithelial cells to the underlying connective tissue.
