Best Answer
The lungs tissues are made up mainly of squamous epithelial tissue (called alveolar epithelium in the lungs). This type of tissue serves a critical function within the lungs because it allows the transfer and exchange of gases with little or no resistance.



The advantages are a short distance between the Oxygen in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries.



The lungs also contain ciliated epithelium. A function of ciliated epithelium is stimulation of goblet cells to produce a mucous-like substance that not only lubricates but also traps pathogens and particles in the bronchi.
