is the term for single layer of cells

many layers of cells are present

a single layer of flat cells

consists of many layers of mostly flat cells, although lower cells are rounded

is a type of stratified epithelium is which the surface cells change shape from round to squamous

alveoli of the lungs - thin to permit diffusion of gases

capillaries - thien to permit exchanges of materials; smooth to prevent abnormal blood clotting

many layers of cells; surface cells flat; lower cells rounded; lower layer undergoes mitosis

epidermis - surface cells are dead; a barrier to pathogens

lining of esophagus, vagina - surface cells are living; a barrier to pathogens

lining of urinary bladder - permits expansion without tearing the lining

thyroid gland - secretes thyroxine

salivary glands - secrete salvia

kidney tubules - permit reabsorption of useful materials back to the blood
