- identify this tissue by understanding its morphological characteristics
- understand where this tissue is found
- know that this tissue is important in areas of rapid exchange between two surfaces
- know that this tissue is used to form serous membranes on the outside of highly moveable organs
Here is a quick look at simple squamous epithelial tissues
Simple squamous epithelium
- a single row of flat cells
- permits diffusion across membranes
- forms the serosa of many organs, remember this is a tissue that produces serous (watery) secretions
- also forms the glomeruli of the kidneys, alveoli of the lungs & endothelium of the uterus
- simple squamous epithelium found lining hollow organs is called endothelium
- simple squamous epithelium found covering organs is called the mesothelium/serosa
