Simple squamous epithelium can be studied by looking at cells which line blood and lymph vessels. These flattened cells are called endothelial cells . The nuclei are frequently found protruding into the lumen of the vessel. Observe the numerous large blood vessels present in the periphery of this section.
Epithelia are a sheet of cells that line almost all body surfaces (skin, intestine, lung, body cavities), form the functional units of secretory glands, and line the inner surface of blood and lymphatic vessels. List the junctional complexes that hold epithelial cells together and their primary functions. 2  List the functions of the basement membrane and how epithelial cells attach to the basement membrane.
