The statements true are:
-The alveoli have a simple squamous epithelium to allow for diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the respiratory membrane
The alveoli represent the smallest functional units of the respiratory system and they are formed by simple squamous epithelium
-Both the alveolar wall and capillary wall contribute to the respiratory membrane
The respiratory membrane is composed by the walls of alveoli and capillaries and both structures are made up of simple squamous epithelium
