Modifications of simple columnar and simple cuboidal epithelium:
1) microvilli.
- protoplasmic process, non-motile and contractile.
- helps in absorption, secretion and excretion.
- increases surface area.
-present in walls of intestine, gall bladder, pct of nephron.
2) cilia.
- protoplasmic process. Motile and contractile.
- mainly present on the inner surface of hollow organs.
- help in moving the particles in a specific direction.
- present in fallopian tube, bronchioles, trachea, uterus, ependymal epithelium.
3) steriocilia.
- cytoplasmic process, non-motile and non-contractile.
- increase surface area.
- found in epididymis and vas deferens.
