Detailed explanation-1: -In the respiratory system, the Simple Squamous epithelial cells are found in the lungs and are a part of the circulatory system by the lining they render to the capillaries. Their presence in the alveolar epithelium enables simple passive diffusion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body. They form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands. They perform a variety of functions that include protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.
Detailed explanation-3: -(b) The lining of blood vessels, lung alveoli and kidney tubules are all made up of epithelial tissue.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
