Squamous epithelium + tunica media blood vessel
Squamous epithelium + endothelium of blood vessel
None of the above
Transitional epithelium + tunica external blood vessel
There are 2 layers separating the air from the blood in the lungs. One is the squamous layer of the epithelium of the alveolar walls of the lungs and the other is the endothelium lining (innermost) of the blood vessel. So, the correct answer is (B).
