Question

Differentiate simple epithelium from squamous epithelium.

Answer 1

Simple Epithelium	Squamous epithelium
Simple epithelium is composed of a single layer of cells.	The squamous epithelium is made of a single thin layer of flattened cells with irregular boundaries.
They are found in the organs of absorption, secretion and filtration. Simple epithelial tissue is further classified into squamous epithelium, cuboidal epithelium, columnar epithelium, ciliated epithelium and pseudostratified epithelium.	They are found in the kidney glomeruli, air sacs of lungs, lining of heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels and are involved in functions like forming a diffusion boundary and filtration in sites where protection is not important.
