No, simple epithelium does not always consist of a layer of flat cells. Simple epithelium can consist of various cell shapes, including squamous (flat), cuboidal (cube-shaped), and columnar (column-shaped) cells. The choice of cell shape depends on the specific function and location of the epithelium.
Tunica Intima is the innermost layer of the wall of the artery. The wall is consist of simple squamous epithelium which is called endothelium.
Simple epithelial tissues are better at absorption, filtration, and secretion because they consist of a single layer of cells that allow for efficient exchange of nutrients and waste products. They are found in organs like the kidneys, lungs, and intestines, where these processes are crucial for maintaining proper function.
Simple Squamous epithelial cells are found in the lung (alveoli), lining the lumen of blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, and also in the kidneys.
Simple epithelial tissues consist of a single layer of cells, while stratified epithelial tissues have multiple layers of cells. Simple epithelial tissues are found in areas where there is minimal wear and tear, while stratified epithelial tissues are found in areas subjected to more abrasion and mechanical stress.
Epithelial tissue are closely connected and have a basal membrane, even though not all epithelial cells are necessarily connected to the basal membrane. The so called simple epithelial tissue subgroup does.
The thin epithelial cells connected to the basement membrane are called simple columnar epithelial tissue because they consist of a single layer of cells that are taller than they are wide. They appear rectangular or column-like when seen in cross-section, giving them their name.

Yes. This allows for the skin to withstand friction/abrasion.

No, alveoli consist of flattened epithelial cells which make the diffusion rate faster (by the reducing the distance the path that oxygen has to diffuse through).
