Q. The cells lining the blood vessels belong to the category of

A) Columnar epithelium
B) Connective tissue
C) Smooth muscle tissue
D) Squamous epithelium
Explanation

[Solution from source] The inner lining of blood vessels (endothelium) is a single layer of flat, thin cells, i.e. simple squamous epithelium, which suits diffusion across the vessel wall. Columnar epithelium lines the stomach and intestine, not blood vessels; smooth muscle lies in the middle layer of the wall, not the lining. Answer (4).
