A. Oesophagus.
Step-by-step solution
- Squamous epithelial cells are flat and are usually found lining surfaces that require a smooth flow of fluid, such as your blood vessels. - They also line areas that require a very thin surface for molecules to pass through, such as the air sacs in your lungs. Squamous epithelium has cells that are wider than their height (flat and scale-like). - This is found as the lining of the mouth, oesophagus, and including blood vessels and in the alveoli of the lungs.
