What type of epithelial tissue makes up serous membranes?
A
simple squamous
B
simple cuboidal
C
simple columnar
D
stratified squamous
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each serous membrane is composed of a secretory epithelial layer and a connective tissue layer underneath. The epithelial layer, known as mesothelium, consists of a single layer of avascular flat nucleated cells (simple squamous epithelium) which produce the lubricating serous fluid.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Simple squamous epithelia are tissues formed from one layer of squamous cells that line surfaces. Squamous cells are large, thin, and flat and contain a rounded nucleus. Like other epithelial cells, they have polarity and contain a distinct apical surface with specialized membrane proteins.
