Simple (single layer) squamous epithelial tissue is thin and flat. This allows for an easy exchange (diffusion) of gases with the tissue that is being covered; ex. alveoli in lungs. The smooth flat cellular shape that comprises the tissue allows for an easy flow of liquids over them; ex. linings of various body organs.
The human skin is composed of Stratified squmous epithelium;
several layers of flat cells. Flatten and die as they develop ,move upward and mature from lower skin areas. Easily slough off due to abrasion or bathing.

there are two kinds of squamous epithlium.... simple squamous epithelium and stratified squamous epithelium.
simple squamous epithelium- is a single layer of thin epithelium. it is found in the lining of organs such as the heart (the paricardium) or the stomac ect.

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested. They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis! This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease. It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges. Reversing Your Kidney Disease?
