Absorption occurs when intact proteins are transported across the villus epithelium. This process occurs through either diffusion or active transport.

What type of epithelial membrane has variable types of epithelium depending on where it is located?

This is true with all the epithelial tissue. You have different type of epithelium on your palm and sole. You have different type of epithelium in your nose than trachea and bronchial tree. You have different type of epithelium across the GI tract.
