Simple columnar epithelium cells line the stomach. These cells also line the small intestine and the large intestine.
They are uni-layered and are of two types - ciliated and non-ciliated.
The stomach is lined with a simple columnar epithelium primarily for protection and secretion. This type of epithelium allows for efficient secretion of gastric juices, including hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, which are essential for food digestion. Additionally, the mucus produced by the columnar cells helps protect the stomach lining from the corrosive effects of these secretions, preventing damage and ulceration. The overall structure facilitates both absorption and a protective barrier against pathogens.
The fallopian tubes are lined by a ciliated epithelium in females. The cilia help move the egg from the ovary to the uterus for potential fertilization.
The sublingual gland is composed of both mucous and serous acini. The mucous acini are lined with simple columnar epithelium, while the serous acini are lined with simple cuboidal epithelium.
Simple squamous epithilium
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.

Blood vessels are lined with simple squamous epithelium--in fact, the entire cardiovascular system is.

falopian tubes
maybe trachea??
No, cells of the esophageal epithelium are not ciliated. The esophagus is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, which lacks cilia. Cilia are more commonly found in respiratory epithelium to help move mucus and particles.
