Detailed explanation-1: -In the kidney, simple cuboidal epithelium lines the lumina of convoluted tubules. The polarity of the cells enables the basal lateral surface (which is in contact with the basal lamina and the underlying tissues) and the apical surface (which lines the lumen where the particles are) to have different surface proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple cuboidal epithelium usually lines small ducts and tubules that may have excretory, secretory or absorptive functions; examples are the collecting tubules of the kidney and the small excretory ducts of the salivary glands and pancreas.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cuboidal epithelium cells are present in the lining of kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands. It helps in protection, absorption, excretion and secretion.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stratified cuboidal epithelia is a rare type of epithelial tissue composed of cuboidally shaped cells arranged in multiple layers. They protect areas such as ducts of sweat glands, mammary glands, and salivary glands.
