This type of tissue has a secretory and absorptive function.
The primary function of this tissue is to be an extremely effective permeability barrier, impenetrable to water and most small molecules.
Simple cuboidal epithelium consists of a monolayer of epithelial cells that appear to be square-shaped in cross section. With large, rounded, centrally located nuclei, all the cells of this epithelium are directly attached to the basement membrane. This type of epithelium has diffusion, absorption, secretion, and protection function.
