The tissue that lines every organ of the body and the tracts including respiratory tract is the epithelial tissue. It mainly protects the underlying tissues.

What tissue forms a wall of capillaries and air sacs of lungs?
Transitional arms
What sacs form the outer lining of the lungs and are attached to the chest wall?
alveoli sacs <--nova net.
Does artery Wall consists of simple squamous epithelium only?
what wall consists of simple squamous epithelium
Wall of alveolar is made of what epithelium?
The wall of the alveoli in the lungs is composed of simple squamous epithelium (also known as type I alveolar cells). These cells are thin and specialized for gas exchange, allowing oxygen to diffuse into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to diffuse out.
Describe the structure of respiratory membrane?
The respiratory membrane is composed of three layers: the alveolar epithelium, the capillary endothelium, and their shared basement membrane. It is where gas exchange occurs in the lungs, with oxygen passing from the alveoli into the capillaries and carbon dioxide from the capillaries into the alveoli.
What is the connection between the shape and the function of epithelium tissue?
thin wall - rapid diffusion small gaps - allow diffusion and actv tspt goblet cells in lung epithelium - secrete mucus to trap bacteria ciliated epithelium - waft mucus out of the lungs squamous - stretch and recoil around a blood vessel there are about another 10 types of specialised epithelium tissues and cells in the human body
Do capilaries surround the wall of air sacs?
Yes
What covers the inner surface of the thoracic wall?
ciliated epithelium
Where does oxygen move from the respiratory system to circulatory system?
By diffusion across q capillary wall
What are alveoli?
Alveoli are small air sacs in the lungs, as small as a grain of sand. There are billions of these in the lungs, and the purpose of these alveoli are to supply de-oxygenated blood with a supply of oxygen through gas exchange. They are well-equipped to do this, as well. The first reason is because the cappillaries that the alveoli are supplying with oxygen are spread all over the outside of them, meaning there is more surface area to perform gaseous exchange on. The second reason is because the alveoli walls are only one cell thick, meaning the oxygen only has two cells to go through, the alveoli wall, and the capillary wall.
What are the air sacs in clusters in the lungs?
They are called Alveoli. They act as the primary gas exchange. Their wall is thin, and is surrounded by capillaries. This allows exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the respiratory and circulatory systems.
Around the wall of each air sac in the lungs web of?
This web is a large 'ball' of capillaries. The millions of tiny alveoli in the human lungs are a very effective adaptation which provides a huge surface area for gaseous exchange into and out of the blood. The alveoli have a very large surface area – in fact if all of the alveoli in your lungs were spread out flat they would cover the area of a tennis court.This large surface area is the result of all the alveoli being small spheres – it is another example of the importance of the surface area: volume ratio.
