|
|
ciliated-increased surface area
|
|
|
with microvilli-cell moves from place to place
|
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As such, simple squamous epithelia are seen lining body cavities and capillaries to reduce friction, as well as lining the alveoli of the lung to facilitate gas exchange.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three principal shapes associated with epithelial cells are-squamous, cuboidal and columnar. Squamous epithelium is composed of cells that are wider than their height (flat and wide).
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: An epithelium “built” to withstand friction is stratified squamous (b). This is characterized by multiple layers of cells, with a basal layer that is composed of dividing cells and an apical layer consisting of keratinized squamous cells.
