Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
These cells function to filter and to allow substances to diffuse through them:
A
cuboidal cells
B
squamous cells
C
columnar cells
D
ciliated cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -If there are squamous epithelial cells in your urine, it may mean your sample was contaminated. This means that the sample contains cells from another part of the body. This can happen if you do not clean your genital area well enough when collecting your urine sample with the clean catch method.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endothelial cells that line the vessel are simple squamous cells. Mesothelium is composed of specialized mesothelial cells, which are found as a monolayer of squamous epithelial cells lining the basement membrane and supported by dense irregular connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -The respiratory or gas-exchange surface consists of millions of small sacs, or alveoli, lined by a simple squamous epithelium. This epithelium is exceedingly thin to facilitate diffusion of oxygen and CO2.
