Mollusks, a member of the crustacean family, have an open circulatory system meaning blood flows freely within their body cavity. However they still have a three chambered heart. The heart pumps blood through open-ended vessels and the blood simply flows back into the heart on it's own or through incidental muscular contractions of the mollusks body during feeding or moving.

Does a simple squamous epithelial tissue have a good blood supply?

What is the layer formation of simple squamous?

Simple squamous epithelium consists of a single layer of flattened cells. These cells are very thin, allowing for rapid exchange of substances through diffusion. Simple squamous epithelium is found in tissues where efficient diffusion is important, such as the alveoli in the lungs and the lining of blood vessels.


How do epithelial tissues receive nutrients?

Epithelial tissues receive nutrients through diffusion from nearby blood vessels or from the underlying connective tissue. Nutrients can also be transported through the epithelial cells via active transport mechanisms.
