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.
Ciliated simple columnar epithelium is found in the lining of the fallopian tubes, bronchioles of the respiratory tract, and parts of the gastrointestinal tract such as the stomach and intestines. This type of epithelium helps in moving mucus and particles along the surface of these organs.
I believe that the esophagus does not change to squamous as it already contains stratified squamous epithelium (keratinization depends on species and diet) post- soft palate.

Alcohol and aspirin are the only two substances that can be absorbed directly across the stomach's mucosal epithelium without needing to enter the bloodstream through the small intestine. This is because these substances are lipid-soluble and can pass through the cell membranes of the stomach lining.
The basic lining of both is stratified squamous epithelium (SSE).However, the type of SSE in stomach and intestines is specially modified for that particular region. For instance, the SSE in the stomach is contains special cells which secrete gastric juices, while at the same time, the lining of the stomach should be able to withstand the acidity of these juices. The SSE lining the [small] intestines on the other hand, contains projections called villi (singular villus) which aid in digestion and also increase the surface area of the intestines; and the SSE also contains goblet cells which secrete mucus.

No, the stomach does not have transitional epithelium. The stomach lining is primarily made up of simple columnar epithelium, which is specialized for secreting mucus and enzymes involved in digestion. Transitional epithelium is typically found in structures like the urinary bladder, where it allows for stretching and expansion.

Covering epithelium covers body surfaces and components of organs, providing protection, absorption, or secretion. Lining epithelium lines cavities and tubes, serving similar functions as covering epithelium but in a different location. Glandular epithelium forms glands that secrete substances such as hormones or enzymes into the blood or cavities.
