Simple cuboidal epithelium

Simple cuboidal epithelia contain single layered, square shaped cells with larger volume than squamous cells. This is good for storing organelles and aids in secretions and absorption, and a production of mucus coat. This epithelia can be found in the liver, thyroid, mammary, salivary and other glands.

This tissue is found in ducts and secretory portions of small glands and in kidney tubules. This tissue’s function is to secrete and absorb.

Simple cuboidal epithelial tissue

Simple cuboidal epithelium lines the follicles of the thyroid gland, covers the ovaries, lines the kidney tubules, and ducts of certain glands. Simple cuboidal epithelium is good at protecting underlying tissues and diffusion, but isn't as good as columnar or squamous epithelium

found in the skin in the lining of sweat glands. this tissue is good for secretion and select. you can identify these by looking for 2 rows of cells that look mostly symmetric and cubed
