Dear student,
 
Squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells in contact with the basal lamina ( one of the two layers of the basement membrane ) of the epithelium. This type of epithelium is often permeable and occurs were small molecules need to pass quickly through membranes via filtration or diffusion.
