Question

______ epithelium occurs in the lining of renal tubules and ducts of salivary glands.

Answer 1

Cuboidal epithelium :

1. Cuboidal epithelium cells are short, thick, hexagonal-shaped cells
2. A single layer of simple cuboidal epithelial cells lines mostly the collecting ducts and tubes.
3. These cells help in the absorption or secretion of substances into various ducts or tubes.
4. Hence, these cuboidal cells are present in both the lining of the ducts of the salivary glands and also the renal tubules.

Final answer: Cuboidal epithelium occurs in the lining of renal tubules and ducts of salivary glands.
