The liver is composed of simple cuboidal epithelium. It helps with the secretion and absorption of substances in the liver.
Simple squamous epithelium has the shortest diffusion distance due to its thin structure, allowing for rapid diffusion of substances across the epithelium.
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelium where all cells are connected to the basement membrane, but not all reach the surface. This type of epithelium appears to be stratified due to the varying heights of the nuclei within the cells, giving the false impression of multiple layers.
The epidermis is primarily composed of stratified squamous epithelium. This type of epithelium is well-suited to protect the skin from physical damage and external threats.
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium lines most of the respiratory tract. This type of epithelium helps to trap foreign particles and move them out of the respiratory system with the help of cilia.
The dry membrane with keratinizing epithelium is known as stratified squamous epithelium. It is a type of tissue found in the skin, oral cavity, esophagus, and vagina, among other locations. This type of epithelium provides protection against mechanical stress and dehydration.

Liver tissue is made up of specialized cells that perform various functions, whereas epithelium is a single layer of cells that cover body surfaces. The level of organization seen in the liver but not in the epithelium would be the organ level, as the liver is a complex organ with multiple tissues and structures working together to perform its functions.

The secretory epithelium is a part of the skin and associated with the sweat glands.
A simple cuboidal epithelium absorbs and secretes. It produces mucous. It is found in the liver, thyroid, mammary, and salivary glands.

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.
The jejunum is lined with simple columnar epithelium. This type of epithelium is specialized for absorption and secretion, making it well suited for the functions of this part of the small intestine.
