Question

How is the squamous epithelium of the skin different from squamous epithelium of the alveoli?

Answer 1

Explanation:

simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells in contact with the basal lamina (one of the two layers of the basement membrane) of the epithelium.[1]

This type of epithelium is often permeable and occurs where small molecules need to pass quickly through membranes via filtration or diffusion.

Simple squamous epithelia are found in capillaries, alveoli, glomeruli, and other tissues where rapid diffusion is required.

Cells are flat with flattened and oblong nuclei. It is also called pavement epithelium due to its tile-like appearance. This epithelium is associated with filtration and diffusion. This tissue is extremely thin, and forms a delicate lining. It offers very little protection...

now your will clear...

Answer 2

Answer:

Alveoli in lungs are the sites of exchange of gases (O² and CO²) for respiration. Hence, they are lined with thin squamous epithelium, which allows diffusion of gases. Skin is the outermost and protective covering of the body. It has stratified compound epithelium at it has high chances of wear and tear.
