NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer: The type of epithelium that is most suitable for high levels of diffusion and filtration is E) Simple squamous. The simple squamous epithelium is the specific layer formed with the help of a flattened cell which forms an epithelial tissue structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
