Detailed explanation-1: -Simple squamous epithelium: This type of epithelium typically lines blood vessels and body cavities and regulates the passage of substances into the underlying tissue. Simple cuboidal epithelium : This type of epithelium is typically found in glandular (secreting) tissue and kidney tubules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple squamous epithelial cells are extremely thin and flat and form a delicate lining. In cells lining, blood vessels or lung alveoli, transportation of substances occurs through squamous epithelium. The oesophagus and the lining of the mouth are also lined with squamous epithelium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The oral cavity is lined by a mucous membrane (the oral mucosa) consisting of a stratified squamous epithelium, which may or may not be keratinized, and an underlying connective tissue layer, the lamina propria. The surface is kept moist with mucus produced by the major and numerous minor salivary glands.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple squamous epithelial cells are extremely thin and flat and form a delicate lining. The oesophagus and the lining of the mouth are lined with squamous epithelium.

Detailed explanation-5: -Simple squamous epithelia are found lining the cavities of the body including the pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal cavities, or in areas where passive diffusion occurs, such as glomeruli in the kidney and alveoli in the respiratory tract.
