Stratified squamous epithelium is usually found in areas of the body where the principle activity?
depends on the type of epithelium. I'm assuming you are asking about stratified squamous epithelium as that is the most common type. It is found in areas of the body that are subjected to a lot of stress (environmental, mechanical) such as the skin, the anus, the oropharynx, and the vagina. Stratified columnar epithelium is found throughout the GI tract.

Urinary Bladder

Where is psuedostratified epithelium located?
Psuedostratified epithelial tissue is epithelial tissue that looks as though it is multiple layers, i.e. stratified, but actually each cell is anchored to the basement membrane. It can be found chiefly lining the respiratory tract.
What type of epithelium is found lining internal body compartments and blood vessels?
These are usually simple squamous epithelial cells. The epithelium lining the body cavities is called the mesothelium and is where the cancer mesothelioma arises from. The epithelium lining arteries and veins is called endothelium.
What is the function of simple cuboidal epithelium?
This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
