What type of epithelium would be most suited for high levels of diffusion and filtration?
simple squamous
What is the Epithelium type with the shortest diffusion distance?
simple squamous epithelium
Which epithelial tissue does the filtration?
In the kidney, simple squamous epithelium lines the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus. In this case, the ability of simple squamous epithelium to provide rapid filtration and diffusion is instrumental to the kidney's function, as the kidney filters about 180 liters of blood per day !
What is the epithelium that occurs in the facing layers of serous membrane?
simple squamus epithelium
What tissue is specialized for the rapid diffusion of gases and nutrients across its cells?
There is a very thin one celled membrane called simple squamous epithelium that works this way.

Which epithelium is best suited for rapid filtration?
Simple Squamous
Alveolar sacs of lungs?
alveolar = air sac simple squamous epithelium; single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central nuclei and sparse cytoplasm; the simplest of the epithelium. function: allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae. location: kidney glomeruli; air sacs of the lungs; lining of hear, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral cavity (serosae).
What type of cells line the alveoli?
Simple Squamous Epithelial Tissue forms the surface of the alveoli
What type of tissue makes up the walls of the alveoli?
simple squamous. It allows for diffusion.
What kind of epithelium is in the epidermis?
stratified squamous epithelial and simple cuboidal epethilium.
What epithelium is found in blood vessels?
Simple squamous epithelium
What is the epithelium that occurs in the facing layers of serous membrane?
simple squamus epithelium
What epithelium tissue is the epidermis of the skin?
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.
What type of epithelium line anus?
Simple stratified epithelium lines the anus.
