ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The cuboidal epithelium is marked by the presence of cube-shaped cells in a single layer. Because it is involved in absorption it is found in the tubular parts of the kidney where maximum absorption of substances takes place from the glomerular filtrate. These substances include sodium ions, glucose, amino acids, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cuboidal epithelial cells, as their name suggests, are shaped like cubes. These are typically found in tissues that secrete or absorb substances, such as in the kidneys and glands. Columnar epithelial cells are long and thin, like columns. These are usually found in places that secrete mucus such as the stomach.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple cuboidal epithelium consists of one layer of cells whose height roughly equals their width, so in sections perpendicular to the surface, cells resemble small box-like cubes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cuboidal epithelium is composed of cells whose height and width are approximately the same (cube shaped).

Detailed explanation-5: -The functions of simple cuboidal epithelium include absorption, secretion, and protection. This tissue can be found lining kidney tubules, bronchioles in the lungs, ducts in secretory glands like the pancreas, thyroid, and salivary glands, and in the ovaries and testes.
