GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple cuboidal epithelium lines the surface of small excretory ducts in various organs and glands in the body, compose some of the kidney tubules in the kortex of the kidney, and create the covering of the ovary.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple cuboidal epithelium forms the many tubules which comprise the medulla of the kidney. The kidney has the basic organization of a compound gland, but specialized to exaggerate the function of the glandular ducts. Each functional unit of the kidney begins with a glomerulus into which blood plasma is filtered.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple cuboidal epithelial tissue is specialized for diffusion and absorption. The reason our kidneys function the way they do is because of the movement of water and salts in and out of the kidney tubules. This single-layered tissue aids in the diffusion of these substances.

Detailed explanation-4: -A type of epithelial cell that is shaped like a square or cube. Cuboidal cells are found in the epithelium lining of the ducts such as those in the pancreas, and of glands such as the salivary gland. Cuboidal cells also line the kidney tubules (small structures in the kidney that filter blood and produce urine).

Detailed explanation-5: -Location : The cuboidal epithelium is found in the lining of kidney tubules. It is found in the ducts of salivary glands to carry out the function of secretion.
