1.	Location of all types of simple epithelial tissue .
Answer» \xa0\tEpithelium typeCharacteristicsShape of cellsFunctionSquamousIt is made up of thin, flat and irregular-shaped cells. It forms the delicate lining of cavities (mouth, oesophagus, nose, etc.) and blood vessels. \xa0\xa0It protects the underlying parts of body from mechanical injury, entry of germs, chemicals and drying. \xa0CuboidalIt consists of cube-like cells. These are found in kidney tubules, thyroid vesicles and in glands.\xa0It helps in absorption, secretion and excretion. It also provides mechanical support.ColumnarIt consists of cells which are taller than broader i.e. pillar-like. It forms the lining of stomach, small intestine and colon.\xa0Its main function includes absorption and secretion.CiliatedThey are cubical or columnar cells with cilia. These are found in sperm ducts and line the trachea, bronchi, kidney tubules and oviducts.\xa0The rhythmic, concerted beating of the cilia moves solid particles in one direction through the ducts.GlandularThe columnar epithelium is modified to form glands which secrete chemicals.\xa0Its main function is secretion.\t
