Squamous epithelial cells, found in the alveoli of the lungs, allow for efficient O2 diffusion due to their single-cell thickness. Cartilage is a connective tissue containing elastin and collagen fibers.
Células epiteliales escamosas, que se encuentran en los alvéolos de los pulmones, permiten una difusión eficiente de O2 debido a su grosor de una sola célula. El cartílago es un tejido conectivo con fibras de elastina y colágeno.
