Detailed explanation-1: -The major functions of cuboidal epithelial cells are – protection, secretion and absorption. Some cuboidal epithelial cells have specialised structures (like microvilli or cilia) projecting from the cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of Simple Cuboidal Epithelia. This type of epithelium is an important part of a nephron, where waste products are secreted into the lumen of tubule and essential nutrients such as glucose and amino acids are selectively reabsorbed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple cuboidal epithelium: This type of epithelium is typically found in glandular (secreting) tissue and kidney tubules. Simple columnar epithelium: This type of epithelium is often specialized for absorption and usually has apical cilia or microvilli. These cells line your stomach and intestines.

Detailed explanation-5: -> Secretion: Cuboidal epithelium of digestive tract secretes digestive enzymes and endocrine glands secretes hormones. > Absorption and excretion: In auriferous tubules they absorb water from blood and help in their excretion.
