Simple columnar epithelium of the digestive tract can present as either ciliated or non-ciliated. The ciliated moves mucus in the respiratory system, the non-ciliated lines the gastrointestinal tract.
Dense microvilli
The intestinal epithelium, which covers the small and large intestine, is simple columnar and nonciliated. It lines most of the organs of the digestive tract.

A simple columnar epithelium is a columnar epithelium that is uni-layered
Simple columnar epithelium cells line the stomach. These cells also line the small intestine and the large intestine. They are uni-layered and are of two types - ciliated and non-ciliated.
simple ciliated columnar and non ciliated columnar are the same cells, epithelium cells ,simple have nucleus they absorb materials,found in intestines in digestive system and Tracia etc
Simple = One layer Columnar = tall (column like) cells Epithelium = Lining, covering, and glandular tissue Simple columnar epithelium = A single layer of tall cell tissue
simple columnar epithelium
Simple columnar is more resistant to being torn apart because of its elongated, column-like structure. Simple columnar epithelium is thicker than simple squamous. Simple squamous is also a single layer of cells, but its cells are flattened. This makes it thinner and much more prone to being torn to the thicker simple columnar epithelium.
