Human lung is an example of a simple squamous, is a single layer of flat cells in contact with the basal lamina (one of the two layers of the basement membrane) of the epithelium. One of the special feature of this epithelium is that small molecules are permeable or quickly pass easily into the membrane via filtration or diffusion. As seen in the microscope image, the cells are flattened and oblong nuclei which makes it a simple squamous.
