it is found in the jejunum of the duodenum
Simple columnar epithelium can be found in the lining of the stomach, instestine, gallbladder, uterine tubes, and collecting duct of the kidneys.
A simple columnar epithelium is a columnar epithelium that is uni-layered
1. squamous (flattened) 2. cuboidal (cube-shaped) 3. columnar
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.
Simple columnar epithelium cells will heal faster than stratified squamous cells. The stratified squamous cells rarely have contact with blood.

Simple squamous epithilium
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.
There are 8 types; simple squamous, simple columnar, simple cuboidal, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, stratified columnar, pseudostratified columnar, and transitional.
Simple columnar epithelium cells will heal faster than stratified squamous cells. The stratified squamous cells rarely have contact with blood.

No, Stratified Squamous epithelium tissue lines the esophagus.
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium of the esophagus transitions to simple columnar epithelium of the stomach
Simple squamous epithelium
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.
