Solution
Epithelial tissue:
Epithelial tissue is a thin layer of tissue that covers all of the body's exposed surfaces.
They cover a variety of body surfaces, including the inner lining of the mouth, the digestive tract, secretory glands, and the lining of hollow organ sections such as the heart, lungs, eyes, and the urogenital tract.
Squamous epithelium:
Cells in this form of tissue are longer than they are tall.
They are mostly present in the mouth, oesophagus, and alveoli of the lungs, as well as blood vessels.
