Inner lining of blood vessels is formed by squamous epithelium. It consists of a layer of thin, flat, scale- like cells with prominent nuclei. The cells have irregular boundaries that fit closely into those of neighbouring cells.

Ciliated epithelium is found in the respiratory tract and in the fallopian tubes of women. It helps in the movement of particles out of the body using hair like structures, cilia.
