Simple columnar epithelia with microvilli line the small intestine where 90% of absorption from the digestive tract occurs. Ciliated types are found in small bronchioles of the respiratory tract and in the fallopian tubes of the female reproductive tract. In these locales, the cilia aid in the movement of mucous or reproductive cells . The unicellular gland or goblet cell, is a specialized columnar cell of mucous membranes that secretes mucous for protection.
