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.
Other epithelial cells line the insides of the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract, the reproductive and urinary tracts, and make up the exocrine and endocrine glands. Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, absorption, protection, transcellular transport, sensation detection, and selective permeability.Endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels) is a specialized form of epithelium.ther epithelial cells line the insides of the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract, the reproductive and urinary tracts, and make up the exocrine and endocrine glands. Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, absorption, protection, transcellular transport, sensation detection, and selective permeability.
