The kidney tubules are lined with simple cuboidal epithelium, which helps in reabsorption and secretion of substances. The ducts of salivary glands are lined with simple columnar or pseudostratified columnar epithelium to facilitate the transport of saliva. Both types of epithelium provide a barrier and aid in specific functions of these structures.
Stratified cuboidal epithelium would be found lining the ducts that drain sweat glands. This type of epithelium provides protection and allows for secretion and absorption in these ducts.
pseudostratified columnar epithelium
lines the ducts of some glands and portions of the male urethra
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.

The ducts of most glands are lined with cuboidal or columnar epithelial tissue. This type of epithelial tissue is specialized for secretion and absorption, facilitating the transport of substances through the ducts. Cuboidal epithelium is often found in smaller ducts, while columnar epithelium is more common in larger ducts. Both types help maintain the function and integrity of glandular structures.
This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
Simple cuboidal epithelium can be found in the kidney tubules, ducts of glands, and the surface of the ovaries in the human body.
Simple cuboidal epithelium is responsible for secreting into ducts that open onto surfaces like skin or into body fluids.
This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
