What Lines blood vessels and the heart?
The blood vessels and the heart are lined by the endothelium! The heart is also lined by the epicardium, and is surrounded by the pericardial sac.

What each aveolus is lined with tiny blood vessels called?
alveoli are lined with capillary endothellium which are opened in blood vessels
What is the inside of your body lined up with?
The inside of the body is lined with a protective layer called the epithelium. This layer covers organs, blood vessels, and other internal structures to provide a barrier and regulate the exchange of substances between different body compartments.
What Cavity surrounds the digestive organs in abdominal cavity?
The peritoneal cavity surrounds the digestive organs in the abdominal cavity. This cavity is lined by a serous membrane called the peritoneum, which helps support and protect the abdominal organs. It contains fluid that reduces friction between the organs during movement.
Stratified squamous epithelium lines blood vessels?
If stratified squamous epithelium lined the blood vessels, gas and nutrient exchange across the vessel walls would become much more complex, requiring multiple transports and making the process much more energy intensive.
Simple squamous tissue that lines the heart blood vessels and lymphatic vessels is called what?
it is called Endothelium (endothelial layer) composed of simple squamous epithelium forming a countinuous barrier.
What epithelium lines the inside of the arteries and veins?
Blood vessels are lined with simple squamous epithelium--in fact, the entire cardiovascular system is.
Body cavities containing internal organs?
The main body cavities containing internal organs are the thoracic cavity (contains heart and lungs), abdominal cavity (contains digestive organs), and pelvic cavity (contains reproductive organs). These cavities protect and support the organs, and are lined by membranes called serous membranes.
What is the inside of blood vessels lined with?
A thin, single-celled, layer of squamous endothelial tissue overlapped inside by an interlacing network of other cell tissue. There are two more layers on top of this inner layer.
Cavity below the chest containing digestive organs?
The cavity below the chest that contains digestive organs is called the abdominal cavity. It houses organs like the stomach, liver, intestines, and pancreas, which play crucial roles in digestion, absorption of nutrients, and waste elimination. The abdominal cavity is protected by the abdominal muscles and lined with a membrane called the peritoneum.
Are all arteries lined with endothelium?
Yes. The only time that I can think of that there would be a break in an artery's endothelium is when a bit gets damaged, like with turbulent (disorganised) blood flow over an atheromatous (fatty) plaque that forms in the intima of the artery wall (there are many layers to an artery wall, the intima is one of them). Also, when a person gets a stent put in an artery to open up a narrowed bit (like when you have unstable angina) these stents can be "drug eluting" stents that stop the endothelium of the vessel from growing over the stent. Essentially, everything in the body that has a connection to the outside world (your skin, eyes, digestive tract, respiratory tract, urinary tract and reproductive tract) is lined with an epithelium. Everything inside the body that is hollow (blood vessels, lymph vessels, the heart's chambers, the ventricles in the brain) as well as the surface of most organs are lined with endothelium.
