Detailed explanation-1: -Simple squamous epithelium forms the inner lining of blood vessels.
Detailed explanation-2: -tunica intima-This is the innermost layer which is made of a single layer of endothelial cells (the endothelium) lined up in the direction of blood flow. These cells provide a smooth internal surface which is important in allowing the free flow of blood without clotting.
