Detailed explanation-2: -Endothelial Cells Line All Blood Vessels The wall is lined by an exceedingly thin single sheet of endothelial cells, the endothelium, separated from the surrounding outer layers by a basal lamina.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple squamous epithelium: This type of epithelium typically lines blood vessels and body cavities and regulates the passage of substances into the underlying tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -The endothelium is a thin membrane that lines the inside of the heart and blood vessels.
