Detailed explanation-1: -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).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A layer of large flat cells which fits closely like tiles in a floor is called Simple squamous epithelium. It is also called pavement epithelium. It is found in places where rapid diffusion is required, such as capillaries, alveoli, glomeruli.

Detailed explanation-4: -Squamous cells are thin, flat cells that look like fish scales, and are found in the tissue that forms the surface of the skin, the lining of the hollow organs of the body, and the lining of the respiratory and digestive tracts.
