simple squamus epithelium
a basement membrane occurs between the epithelial tissue and the connective tissue
Stratified epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue that consists of multiple layers of cells. It is found in areas that require protection from mechanical or chemical stress, such as the skin or the lining of the esophagus. The layers provide strength and durability to the tissue.
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.
it occurs in the cell membrane(through the cell membrane really)
Transitional Epithelium permits expansion and recoil after stretching without damage. It's found in the urinary bladder, renal pelvis, and ureters. It's called transitional because the appearance of the epithelium changes as stretching occurs.
The layers through which respiratory gases diffuse are known as the respiratory membrane. This membrane consists of the alveolar epithelium, basement membrane, and capillary endothelium. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs through this membrane during respiration.
The respiratory membrane is composed of three layers: the alveolar epithelium, the capillary endothelium, and their shared basement membrane. It is where gas exchange occurs in the lungs, with oxygen passing from the alveoli into the capillaries and carbon dioxide from the capillaries into the alveoli.
The single layer of epithelium covering a basement membrane is known as simple epithelium. This type of epithelium consists of a single layer of cells that can vary in shape, including squamous, cuboidal, or columnar. It serves various functions such as absorption, secretion, and filtration, depending on its location in the body. Simple epithelium is typically found in areas where passive diffusion or filtration occurs, such as in the lungs, kidneys, and lining of blood vessels.

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.

Most biological membranes are made of lipids. Both the animal cell and the plant cell have a cell membrane that consist of aphospholipid bilayer. The fluid mosaic model is used to describe the make up of the membrane. The bilayer is made of two layers of phospholipids, with their hydrophilic heads facing out and hydrophobic tails facing in. Proteins are also integrated in and/or on the membrane (ex. peripheral proteins, integral proteins, glycoproteins, etc.) There are also pumps like the sodium-potasium pump that assist with active transport (requires energy) across the membrane because the cell membrane is a semipermeable barrier. Passive transport also occurs across the membrane during processes like facilitated diffusion, osmosis and when certain ions pass through the designated ion channels across the membrane.
Ozone occurs in upper layers. It finds suitable conditions to sustain there.
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.
An inflammation of the two layers of the thin, sac-like membrane that surrounds the heart. This membrane is called the pericardium, so the term pericarditis means inflammation of the pericardium.
Simple epithelium occurs in a single layer. It is composed of a single layer of cells that are tightly packed together, forming a thin barrier. It plays important roles in absorption, secretion, and protection in various tissues and organs of the body.
