This tissue is simple squamous, a type of epithelium. It is the thinnest tissue, one cell thick, since gases are exchanged in the aleoli and capillaries surrounding them.
Stratified squamous epithelial tissue is composed of multiple layers of squamous (flattened) cells that provide protection against mechanical stress and damage. It is found in areas of the body that are subject to abrasion and friction, such as the skin, oral cavity, and esophagus. This tissue type allows for regeneration of cells to maintain its protective function.
The type of epithelial tissue that is found in the epidermis of the skin is called stratified squamous epithelium. The dermis consists of connective tissue.
