A simple columnar epithelium is a columnar epithelium that is uni-layered
A single flattened layer of epithelial cells can represent squamous epithelium. Squamous epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue characterized by flat, scale-like cells that are closely packed together.
A simple squamous epithelium forms a thin serous membrane composed of a single layer of flattened cells. This type of epithelium allows for rapid diffusion of substances across the membrane due to its thin structure and close cell arrangement.
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.
Stratified squamous has multiple layers of cells, the outermost layer of which contains squamous cells. There are two varieties: nonkeratinized (e.g., lining of vagina) and keratinized, in which the superficial cell layers have been transformed into a hard layer of nonliving keratin (e.g., epidermis of skin).
The structure you described is likely a simple squamous epithelium folded onto itself, forming a double layer called a simple squamous epithelial membrane. This type of structure is commonly found in tissues where substances need to diffuse easily, such as in the lining of blood vessels or alveoli in the lungs.
simple squamous epithelium
simple squamous. It allows for diffusion.

Endocardium
they are flat cells. they can either be simple (one layer) or stratified (multiple layers)
stratified squamous epithelium
The innermost layer of epithelial cells of a blood vessel is called endothelium.
Simple squamous. Just like the endothelium & mesothelium.
A thin, single-celled, layer of squamous endothelial tissue overlapped inside by an interlacing network of other cell tissue. There are two more layers on top of this inner layer.
a singe-celled layer of epithelium that form the lining of serous membrane.
