Answer:
These epithelia are common where absorption or transport of materials is important. They also play a role in diffusion, osmosis and filtration. This makes them important in the kidney, in the alveoli of lungs and in the walls of capillaries.
Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in organs that are specialized for secretion, such as salivary glands and thyroid follicles, and those that are specialized for diffusion, such as the kidney tubules. As its name implies, this tissue consists of a single layer of cuboidal cells on the basement membrane.
Simple columnar epithelia with microvilli secrete digestive enzymes and absorb digested food. Simple columnar epithelia with cilia aid in the movement of mucus and reproductive cells. Columnar epithelial cells are epithelial cells whose height is at least four times their width.
