Tissues Squamous Epithelial Tissue Squamous epithelial tissues are thin and flat, scale-like in appearance, tend to have larger, elliptically-shaped nuclei. Squamous epithelial tissue are used for filtration and diffusion. Due to their simple and thin construct, they allow for easy transmembrane movement. Squamous epithelium is found in locations where rapid diffusion or filtration take place. In the kidney, simple squamous epithelium lines the Bowman’s capsule and the glomerulus. Filtration

What is the function of the multiple nuclei in striated muscle cells? Some nuclei that is present in the Muscles are Mytoblast. They form individual muscle fibers. The mytoblast that do not fuse with muscle fibers remain in the adult muscles and become sattelite cells. After an injury, these suspected sattellit celss can get bigger and divide. They can fuse with damaged fibers from the muscle and then assist in the regeneration of the muscles tissues. Journal # 3 How is the concept of Homeostasis
