Squamous epithelial tissue
Explanation:
- Squamous epithelial tissue is made up of a single layer of flat scale shaped ceels.
- Cells of this tissue are flat and are arranged in a single layer.
- They are found lining the cavities of the body including the pericardial, pleural and peritoneal cavities, or in areas where passive diffusion occurs.
- Found in glomeruli in the kidney and alveoli in the respiratory tract.
- It facilitates diffusion of gases and small molecules.
