Summary Introduction
To explain:
The functional significance of the histological difference of the epithelium between the respiratory tract and the alveoli and the reason due to which the alveoli do not have epithelium similar to the epithelium of the rest of the respiratory tract.
Introduction:
The sheet of the tissue that is made up of one or more than one layers of cells is known as the epithelium. The function of epithelia includes protection, secretion of mucus and some digestive enzymes, and absorption of food.

The structure in the lungs known as the respiratory membrane is where gases are exchanged -oxygen leaves the lungs and enters the blood, and carbon dioxide leaves the blood and enters the lungs. The respiratory membrane is composed of two extremly thin layers of simple squamous epithelium. Explain how the structure of the respiratory membrane follows its function.

- Mucous membranes (pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelia) line most upper respiratory tract structures.
