NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Within the cardiovascular system such as lining capillaries or the inside of the heart, simple squamous epithelium is specifically called the endothelium. Cells are flat with flattened and oblong nuclei. It is also called pavement epithelium due to its tile-like appearance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Squamous Epithelia Squamous epithelial cells are generally round, flat, and have a small, centrally located nucleus. The cell outline is slightly irregular, and cells fit together to form a covering or lining.

Detailed explanation-3: -Squamous epithelium: Squamous epithelial cells are flat and sheet-like in appearance. Cuboidal epithelium: Cuboidal epithelial cells are cube-like in appearance, meaning they have equal width, height and depth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple squamous epithelial cells are thin and flat (the thinnest of all epithelial cell-types), which allows them to have a large surface area that is exposed to the lumen on one side (the apical surface), and to the basement membrane (i.e. basal lamina) on the other (the basolateral surface; Figure 1).
