are stained cheek cells nearly  the same size and shape?

Yes.  You should know that if you've looked at them under a light microscope.  This applies for pretty much all cells of the same type, since cells can be neither too big nor too small.  If they're too big, then information has a hard time travelling through the large amounts of space and cytoplasm, and the cell can't function.  If they're too small... not everything fits.

cheek cells are stratified squamous epithelia they protect against abrasion

NDA? DNA? Because X-ray crystalography showed it to be that shape. Read Nature vol 171 pg 964

Most mitotic cell divisions do result in daughter cells that are equal in size to the parent. During interphase, the cellular material, like cytoplasm, is duplicated as well as the genetic material. This is not the case for meiotic cell divisions, though, which yield cells that are certainly smaller than the parents, about 1/4 the size, and it is not always the case in mitosis, like for example, in the developing blastula.

I think some staining is natural. If you smoke, drink coffee, or eat foods like blue berries you will have more staining.\n\nAt 60 you should be pleased that you have teeth to worry about. Lots of folks are toothless at 60.

Lung tissue looks like a sponge.  Heart tissue looks like a steak.  Do an image search.

its a little cyst..it just a collection of dead cells formed into a cyst.. its all good, unless it gets bigger and bigger.

Sure, some cells are bound to get stuck on the place once in your mouth.

Differential staining is largely a microbological tool that aids the scientists to clearly demarcate the complex cell and tissue structures. This procedure is essentially based on the principle that every cell or tissue has its own refractive index. Therefore, differential stains have two tasks to perform--to make conspicuous the tissue compartments by giving a suitable background colour, for example, in negative staining procedure for visualising capsules or endospores, and to set the refractive index perfect for the viewer,so that the compartment can be clearly seen.

so they will fit close together.  they dont change shape because of their ridged cell walls.

by the way its  PELGER-HUET not how you spelled it....\n\n and its a defect in the  neutrophils and eosinophils ,so that the nuclei appear rod like. or dumbbell shaped.

The greater the magnification, the more morphology you'll be able to see. 100x is preferable because bacteria are so small. Special stains help to see individual organelles inside bacteria, such as mitochondria, nucleus, cell membrane. Different bacteria take up different stains, which helps to identify them, such as gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The tubercle bacillus that causes tuberculosis will stain red on a blue background with the correct stain procedure.

Fibroblasts have a branched cytoplasm surrounding an elliptical, speckled nucleus having 1 or 2 nucleoli. Active fibroblasts can be recognized by their abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum. Inactive fibroblasts, which are also called fibrocytes, are smaller and spindle shaped. They have a reduced rough endoplasmic reticulum.\nEpithelial tissues cover or line all body parts both externally and internally. With cells tightly packed together and with little intercellular space, the epithelial tissues form effective barriers between underlying tissues and external media. Thus, the epithelial tissues are extremely important in regulating the exchange of materials between different body parts. The portions of cell membranes found on the outer surface of an epithelial tissue are specialized to act as the regulators of the tissue strictly managing the flow of materials into and out of the epithelium. In contrast, those portions of cell membranes that are adjacent only to other epithelial cell membranes allow a less restricted flow of materials between epithelial cells. The outside surfaces of epithelial tissues often are highly specialized in other ways possessing cilia, hairs, or glands, which may arise from individual cells or groups of cells that have invaginated and which are capable of covering the outer surface of an epithelial tissue with mucous or waxy secretions. Epithelial tissues are separated from underlying tissues by extra cellular basement membranes. \nThree types of epithelial cells exist: Squamous cells are thin and flat, cuboidal cells have a square shape in section and a polygonal shape when looking at the surface of a tissue, and columnar cells are much taller than they are wide. Simple epithelial tissues are only one cell-layer thick and are named on the basis of their cell type: Simple squamous, simple cuboidal, and simple columnar epithelia are the three types of simple epithelial tissues.

I have 6 and I love them....I don't have to bleach anymore (except surrounding teeth to keep them matching) and my temperature sensitivity is gone.  And of course they are beautiful.  I highly recommend them!  If you want to see my before and after pics let me know.

I am sorry, but with nuclei, size does matter. Take that you wimpy mitochondria and golgi apparatus.

normal...no, but like i explained in aother answer, extra teeth are created by epithelial pearls. the epithelial pearls come from the degeneration of the dental lamina in your mouth when your were a foetus. usually the destruction is complete, but in your case, i guess the destruction wasnt done well. (cause by traumatism?)
