Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mesothelial cells are an example of simple squamous epithelial cells that form the serous membrane lining internal organs and body cavities protecting them by secreting a lubricating fluid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Simple squamous epithelial cells form a membrane that allows selective diffusion of materials to pass through. Diffusion helps with filtration, absorption and secretion functions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Simple squamous epithelial cells function as mediators of filtration and diffusion. Due to their simple and thin construct, they allow for easy transmembrane movement (i.e. across the membrane, and through the cell) of small molecules.
