Answer:

The given blank can be filled with simple squamous epithelium.

Explanation:

The tissues produced from a single layer of squamous cells, which lines the surfaces are known as simple squamous epithelia. These cells are thin, large, and flat and comprise a rounded nucleus. These tissues exhibit polarity and comprise a distinct apical surface like other epithelial cells with unique membrane proteins.  

This epithelium is found generally in the areas where the transportation or absorption of substances takes place. They also perform a key role in osmosis, diffusion, and filtration. Apart from this, it is also protective and secretory in function. Simple squamous epithelium is commonly found in the alveoli of the lungs, in the kidney and in the walls of capillaries.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Tissue fluid consists of water, ions, and dissolved gases and food substances, which is formed when blood is ultrafiltered from the capillaries into the intercellular spaces. The tissue fluid surrounds the body cells, facilitating the exchange of nutrients and waste materials. It helps bring oxygen and nutrients to cells and to remove waste products from them. As new tissue fluid is made, it replaces older fluid, which drains towards lymph vessels.

Lymph is a colorless fluid containing white blood cells, which bathes the tissues and drains through the lymphatic system into the bloodstream. It is essentially tissue fluid that has entered a lymphatic capillary. Lymph formation depends upon tissue fluid formation.
