10. Which type of epithelial tissue allows the transportation of substances through a selectively permeable surface in the lining of food vessels or lung alveoli? [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-I) 22.03.2018 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (a) Simple squamous epithelium
Note:

The cells of the simple scaly epithelium tissue are flat like a saucer or scale, often polygonal and adjacent to each other like mosaic tiles. Their main function is to transport substances from one side to the other by diffusion. These tissues allow the transport of substances through a selectively permeable membrane at the level of the oesophagus or in the alveoli of the lungs.
