	Epithelial Tissue
		Other places simple squamous epithelium can be found include; the glomerulus of the kidney, the walls of capillaries, and the alveoli of the lungs, to name a few.
		We will begin with the simple epithelia, as they are easier to visualize, and then touch on pseudostratified columnar epithelium before we move on to the stratified squamous epithelium.
		This type of epithelium is thicker than simple simple squamous epithelium, so it does not allow for passive diffusion as readily.

	Squamous cell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In simple squamous epithelia all the cells are in contact with the basal lamina (basement membrane) of the epithelium whereas in stratified squamous epithelia the cells which line the epithelium are arranged in layers and as such some (most) won't be in contact with the basement membrane.
		Squamous cells are basically types of cells which can be identified histologically by the fact that they look flattened and thin under a microscope.
		They are one of the cell types which comprise an epithelium.
