Card 17 / 36:
How can squamous epithelia both facilitate diffusion and prevent damage from abrasion?
Squamous epithelia can be either simple or stratified. As a single layer of cells, it presents a very thin epithelia that minimally inhibits diffusion. As a stratified epithelia, the surface cells can be sloughed off and the cells in deeper layers protect the underlying tissues from damage.
