The skin of amphibians is made of that kind of epithelium, but mostly, they are found in capillaries (circulatory system) and alveoli (lung), they are needed where it is necessary to have rapid exchange by diffusion.

What are six kinds of epithelium?
There are 8 types; simple squamous, simple columnar, simple cuboidal, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, stratified columnar, pseudostratified columnar, and transitional.
Which word refers to flattened appearance of fish scales?
Squamous epithelium
What is the characteristic of the dermal layer?
The epidermis is highly keratinized, mostly dead, stratified squamous epithelium.
What epithelium appears to have two or three layers of cells but all cells are in contact with the basement membrane?
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is an epithelial tissue comprised of only one layer of cells. The nuclei of these column shaped cells are located at varying levels which make it appear as though there are multiple layers.
What is squamous cell?
Squamous cells are a type of epithelial cell. Epithelial cells are cells that line the surface of an opening. For example skin cells are epithelial because they line the opening of the skin to the outside air. The lining of blood vessels are squamous as well, because they line the surface of the blood vessels. The basic types of epithelial cells are squamous, cuboidal, columnar, and transitional. The description can become more detailed such as stratified squamous and pseudostratified columnar. Squamous cells are very thin, flat cells. An example of squamous cells stacked on top of each other (stratified squamous) would be the outer layer of your skin. In fact these squamous cells are kertatinized and contain no active nucleus, and function mainly as a barrier to your inner body.
What epithelium is found in blood vessels?
Simple squamous epithelium
What is the Epithelium type with the shortest diffusion distance?
simple squamous epithelium
What epithelium is composed of one layer of thin flat cells?
simple squamous epithelium
Does artery Wall consists of simple squamous epithelium only?
what wall consists of simple squamous epithelium
Is the epidermis made up of simple squamous epithelium?
Yes, simple squamous epithelium is the tissue of the epidermis.
What kind of epithelium is in the epidermis?
stratified squamous epithelial and simple cuboidal epethilium.
What is the epithelium that occurs in the facing layers of serous membrane?
simple squamus epithelium
What epithelial type forms the walls of the air sacs of the lungs?
simple squamous epithelium
What cell type can a single flattened layer of epithelium cells represents?
Simple squamous which is only one cell layer think, and stratified squamous which is composed of multiple layers. The best way to remember is to think that to squash something is to flatten it and squash and squamous are similar words.
What type of cells line the alveoli?
Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue forms the surface of the alveoli
Wall of alveolar is made of what epithelium?
Simple, squamous epithelium which makes it easy for respiratory gases to diffuse across.
Which epithelium forms wall of air sacs of lungs?
simple squamous epithelium
