Question

Inner lining of blood vessel is composed ofSimple cuboidal epitheliumSimple squamous epitheliumPseudostratified epitheliumCiliated columnar epithelium

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Simple squamous epithelial cells are thin and flat cells having a large surface area that is exposed to the lumen on one side and to the basement membrane on the other side- The cells are scale-like in appearance- They tend to have larger- elliptically-shaped nuclei- As a simple type of epithelium- the simple squamous epithelium is one cell-layer thick and thus every cell of the tissue comes in direct contact with the basement membrane-xA0-The endothelium is a type of epithelium that lines the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels- It is a thin layer of simple squamous cells called endothelial cells-xA0-Hence the correct option is C-
