Question

The function of secretion is shown by both_______ and ______ epithelium

• A. Cuboidal
• B. Glandular

Answer 1

Cuboidal epithelium and Glandular epithelium:

1. The cuboidal epithelium is composed of a single layer of cube-like cells.
2. This is commonly found in ducts of glands and tubular parts of nephrons in kidneys and its main functions are secretion and absorption.
3. Some columnar or cuboidal cells get specialized for secretion and are called the glandular epithelium.
4. They mostly fall into one of two categories: unicellular, which consists of solitary glandular cells (the alimentary canal's goblet cells), and multicellular, which consists of a collection of cells (salivary gland).
   

Final answer: The function of secretion is shown by both cuboidal and glandular epithelium
