Detailed explanation-1: -The cuboidal epithelium is composed of a single layer of cube-like cells. This is commonly found in ducts of glands and tubular parts of nephrons in kidneys and its main functions are secretion and absorption. The epithelium of proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) of nephron in the kidney has microvilli .

Detailed explanation-2: -Stratified cuboidal epithelium: This type of epithelium is not as common and is found in the excretory ducts of your salivary and sweat glands.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cuboidal epithelium typically lines ducts draining glands.

Detailed explanation-4: -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: -Simple cuboidal epithelium is found lining kidney tubules and bronchioles in the lungs. It is also found lining the the ducts of secretory glands like the pancreas, thyroid, and salivary glands, and in the ovaries and testes.
