This section from
the kidney shows three examples of simple squamous epithelium: (1) the outer
(parietal) layer of Bowman's capsule (yellow

and (3) capillary endothelial cells (blue arrows). In all three examples the
epithelial cells are characterized by their flattened
nuclei. The thin cell bodies are not visible
