The kind of epithelium which forms the inner walls of blood vessels is
cuboidal epithelium
columnar epithelium
ciliated columnar epithelium
squamous epithelium
Correct Answer :
D. squamous epithelium
Squamous epithelium is formed of thin discoidal and polygonal cells that fit like tiles in a floor, so is also called pavement epithelium. It is found in the walls of blood vessels, in the alveoli of lung for exchange of gases, and in Bowmans capsule of nephron for ultra filtration.
