ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple squamous epithelium lining the alveoli in the lungs allows the gas exchange between the alveoli and the blood vessels while also forming a barrier between the outside and the internal body fluids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each alveolus is lined by simple squamous epithelium, exceedingly thin to facilitate diffusion of oxygen while still forming an epithelial barrier between the outside air and the internal body fluids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple squamous epithelium also makes up the alveoli in the lungs (Figure 3), where rapid gas exchange occurs, as oxygen enters the bloodstream through alveolar blood vessels and carbon dioxide exits as waste.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following functional characteristics is associated with simple squamous epithelium? calcium phosphate crystals. Reticular tissue is not found in which of the following locations? are the most common unicellular exocrine gland found within mucous membranes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Simple epithelium is composed of one cell layer. Due to the fact that it consists of only one layer of cells, so substances such as nutrients pass easily through it. In this way, the simple structure of this type of tissue provides its function and this is protection, secretion, and absorption.
