Question

The epithelia that line body cavities and blood vessels are classified as
A) simple squamous.
B) stratified squamous.
C) simple cuboidal.
D) stratified cuboidal.
E) transitional.

Accepted Answer

Simple squamous epithelia are found in body cavities and blood vessels because they allow for diffusion and filtration to occur easily due to their thinness and flat shape. Stratified squamous and cuboidal epithelia are not typically found lining body cavities and blood vessels, and transitional epithelia are specifically found in the urinary system.
