stratified squamous
Squamous epithelium is also called as the pavement epithelium.
Squamous epithelium supported by sparse connective tissue is called a membrane.
Stratified = layered; Epithelium = exterior, as compared to mesothelium or endothelium; Squamous = are flattened cells, obvious to be layered: need help/input/please,
it is thin because it is a poo and it has sex with people!!!
Epithelium
a simple epithelium
The Respiratory membrane: The wall of the alveoli are composed primarily of a single layer of squamous epithelial cells, called type I cells, surrounded by a flimsy basement membrane. See page 815 anatomy and physiology 8th
basement membrane
These are usually simple squamous epithelial cells. The epithelium lining the body cavities is called the mesothelium and is where the cancer mesothelioma arises from. The epithelium lining arteries and veins is called endothelium.
The peritoneal membrane lines the peritoneal cavity.
Squamous epithelium is also called as the pavement epithelium.
Squamous epithelium supported by sparse connective tissue is called a membrane.
The serous membrane is composed of 2 thin linings. The inter lining, which directly covers the organ, is called the visceral membrane. Over the visceral is the parietal membrane. In between the two is a cushioning fluid. The serous membrane resembles a balloon (visceral) inside another balloon (parietal) with fluid between them.

The membranes that do not contain gland cells are called basement membranes. These basement membranes line the interiors of blood vessels and the skin.
The walls of the vagina are lined with a mucous membrane called vaginal epithelium. This epithelium is non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, which helps to protect the underlying tissues and maintain the pH and moisture balance of the vagina. The vaginal walls also contain elastic connective tissue and muscle fibers.
The alveoli are sometimes refer to as the respiratory membrane. This due to the transfer of gases that occurs between the epithelium (the membrane) and the capillaries (the blood). When Oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer across this membrane through diffusion Oxygen goes into the blood and Carbon dioxide is diffused out into the Alveoli.
