ZOOL 409: HISTOLOGY

Slide 59

 Lung from unspecified source.

Simple squamous epithelium lines the lung alveoli.  You can't see it well; most of the thickness of the alveolar walls consists of capillaries.

Look for bronchi (cartilage and glands may be visible in wall), bronchioles (lined by cuboidal epithelium) and larger blood vessels.

For more, see lung, also see slide 60, 61.
