This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
for secretion and absorption
it also carries on diffusion and osmosis

The thyroid gland
Epithelial tissue that is only one cell thick is known as simple cuboidal epithelium. The epithelial tissue that is found in glands are glandular.
* Simple Cuboidal Epithelium. As their name implies, cuboidal cells are roughly square or cuboidal in shape. Each cell has a spherical nucleus in the centre. Cuboidal epithelium is found in glands and in the lining of the kidney tubules as well as in the ducts of the glands. They also constitute the germinal epitheliumwhich produces the egg cells in the female ovary and the sperm cells in the male testes.

Transitional epithelium lines the lumen of the ureter. The transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that has multiple layers of epithelial cells that can contract and expand.
There are 8 types; simple squamous, simple columnar, simple cuboidal, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, stratified columnar, pseudostratified columnar, and transitional.
A simple cuboidal epithelium absorbs and secretes. It produces mucous. It is found in the liver, thyroid, mammary, and salivary glands.
