This is a cell layer of epithelial tissue which is composed of cells which are wider than they are tall. The 'simple' means its one cell layer thick and the 'squamous' means the cells are wider than they are tall.

Examples of areas where this type of cell layer include the outer surface of most body organs, the vascular system and the bowmans capsule in the kidney.

Forms thin serous membrane a single layer of flattened cells?

The thin serous membrane you're referring to is most likely the simple squamous epithelium. This type of epithelium is formed by a single layer of flattened cells that are well-suited for rapid diffusion and filtration due to their thin structure. Simple squamous epithelium is found lining areas where exchange of nutrients and waste products occurs, such as in the alveoli of the lungs and the walls of blood vessels.
