This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
* Simple Cuboidal Epithelium. As their name implies, cuboidal cells are roughly square or cuboidal in shape. Each cell has a spherical nucleus in the centre. Cuboidal epithelium is found in glands and in the lining of the kidney tubules as well as in the ducts of the glands. They also constitute the germinal epitheliumwhich produces the egg cells in the female ovary and the sperm cells in the male testes.
Transitional epithelium lines the lumen of the ureter. The transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that has multiple layers of epithelial cells that can contract and expand.
Simple cuboidal epithelium is a one-cell layer of cuboidal cells (equal sides) that are found in many glands and ducts and forms “tubes” or ducts.
Simple cuboidal epithelium; these cells form tubules that open onto a surface (glands).
Simple cuboidal epithelial tissue lines the surface of the kidney's tubules. These simple cuboidal cells absorb and transport the various substances that are filtered by the kidney.
simple cuboidal epithelium
Some examples of epithelial tissue are: Simple squamous (found lining the blood vessels), simple cuboidal (lines kidney tubules), Pseudostratified columnar (lines the respiratory passage), and transitional (inner lining of urinary bladder).
Description; single later of cube-like cells with large, spherical central nuclei.Function; secretion and absorption.Location; kidney tubules; ducts and secretory portions of small glands; ovary surface.

Simple cuboidal epithelium lines the surface of small excretory ducts in various organs and glands in the body and compose some of the kidney tubules in the cortex of the kidney.
Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in organs that are specialized for secretion, such as salivary glands and thyroid follicles, and those that are specialized for diffusion, such as the kidney tubules.

Transitional epithelium lines the lumen of the ureter. The transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that has multiple layers of epithelial cells that can contract and expand.
Tubules are the tubes running through each little (microscopic) nephrons within each kidney that aid in filtering and collecting of the waste products, and then depending on how much water is in the body it either can reabsorb more water or more salt depending on your electrolyte balance. :-D
