• Glandular epithelium cells are cuboidal in shape with multiple layers.
• A basement membrane is always present, which separates the epithelial tissue from the other tissues.
• The cells are uni-nucleate with a single large nucleus.
• Secretion is the main function of glandular epithelium.
  
• The normal columnar epithelial cells specialize in the synthesis of chemicals such as enzymes, hormones, milk, mucus, sweat, wax, and saliva.
  
• Glandular epithelium present in the intestinal lining helps in the absorption of nutrients.
