Squamous cells fit together like floor tiles to form the lining of the mouth, eye lids, nose and other body openings. The tissue is called mucosa or mucous membrane. If there is nothing unusual about the mucosa, it will be considered unremarkable in medical terms. It is good to have unremarkable mucosa.

∙ 14y agoMucosa is moist tissue that lines some organs and body cavities throughout the body, including your nose, mouth, lungs, and digestive tract (for females, it can also be found on the internal labia). Glands along the mucosa release mucus (a thick fluid).
Squamous means characterised by its most superficial layer consisting of flat, scale-like cells (called squamous cells). If it has only one layer of these cells, then it is referred to as simple squamous; or it may possess multiple layers, referred to then as stratified squamous. In other words, "squamous" is an adjective.
So, final answer is that it is tissue made up of squamous cells that lines some organs and body cavities.
