Function of Squamous Epithelium
In this article we will discuss about the function of squamous epithelium
Function of Squamous Epithelium
- Simple Squamous Epithelium help for transport of materials
- Alveoli of the lungs a single layer of squamous Epithelium surround and help for gaseous exchange
- The simple squamous epithelium also lines the Bowman’s capsule of the nephrons in the kidney and help for filtration of waste from blood
- The simple squamous epithelium in the intestine, where the cells produce mucus, reducing the friction created due to the movement of food particles through the intestine
- The simple squamous epithelium forming the mesothelium facilitated the movement of the viscera and the active transport of fluid by the process of pinocytosis
- Simple squamous epithelial cells form a membrane that allows selective diffusion of materials to pass through
- Across the surface of this tissue, various physiological processes such as diffusion, osmosis and filtration occur.
