The epithelium is a type of body tissue that forms the covering on all internal and external surfaces of your body, lines body cavities and hollow organs and is the major tissue in glands. Epithelial tissue has a variety of functions depending on where it’s located in your body, including protection, secretion and absorption (Cleveland Clinic, 2021)
stratified columnar epithelia

Function of Stratified Columnar Epithelium: Provides protection and structural support. Involved in secretion. Locations: Conjunctiva of the eye Male urethra Large ducts of salivary glands Pharynx
A rare and specialized type of epithelium with multiple layers of cells
Stratified Columnar Epithelium can be found in the mucous membrane and its function is the protection of underlying tissues with multiple layers of epithelial cells.
Stratified columnar epithelium is mainly found in the conjunctiva of the eye. It’s main function is to provide a protective barrier.
Stratified columnar epithelium is a rare tissue with multiple layers, where the surface cells are tall and column-shaped. It provides protection and secretion and is found in parts of the male urethra, conjunctiva of the eye, and some glandular ducts.
Stratified columnar epithelium is a rare type of tissue found in parts of the male urethra, conjunctiva of the eye, large glandular ducts, and the pharynx. It consists of multiple layers, with the top layer made of columnar cells, providing protection and secretion. This epithelium helps protect underlying tissues from damage while also aiding in the movement of secretions. Its strong, multilayered structure makes it well-suited for areas exposed to mechanical or chemical stress.
The stratified columnar epithelium serves as the protection of underlying tissues and also function in secretion. They are not common and can be found in the mucous membrane or conjunctiva lining your eyelids.
The stratified columnar epithelium helps protect underlying tissues from physical damage and microbial damage. Examples of these are the tissues found in the conjunctiva of the eyes, parts of the male urethra and certain exocrine glands.
Stratified Columnar Epithelium can be found in areas that need both protection and secretion. They appear as two or more layers of cells with basal layers consisting of cuboidal cell. Its apical layer has tall columnar cells with elongated nuclei.
This is said to be not as common as the other types. It can be seen in the mucous membrane lining the eyelids.
Stratified Columnar Epithelium can be found in mucous membranes and the lining of the eyelids. This type of tissue functions as both protective and mucus-secreting tissue. Furthermore, this also protects the underlying tissues.
The stratified columnar epithelium can be found in conjuctive inside the eyelids. Its functions include protection and mucous secretion.
Function: protects underlying tissues and organs, and secretes waste materials. Location: found in the conjunctiva, pharynx, anus, and male urethra
Stratified Columnar epithelium can be found in the conjunctiva of the eyes as well as the male urethra. This type of tissue mainly serve as protection.
Stratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue characterized by multiple layers of cells, where the apical layer consists of columnar cells, and the deeper layers may contain either cuboidal or columnar cells. This epithelium is relatively rare and primarily found in specific areas of the body
Stratified columnar epithelium can be located in areas that need protection and secretion. It is found in areas of the body that require durability while also facilitating the movement of secretions. This epithelium is primarily located in parts of the male urethra, large excretory ducts of some glands (such as the salivary glands), and the conjunctiva of the eye. The basal layer consists of cuboidal cells, while the apical layer has columnar cells, making it well-suited for resisting mechanical stress and transporting fluids.
Stratified columnar epithelium is strong and protective. It lines parts of the throat, urethra, and some glands, helping with secretion and protection.
Stratified Columnar Epithelium It is an uncommon column-shaped epithelium that can be found on the throat, anus, lobar ducts, and conjunctiva. Multiple layers of epithelial cells make up stratified columnar epithelium. It frequently occurs between simple columnar epithelia and squamous epithelia.
The main functions of stratified columnar epithelium are protection of underlying epithelial tissues and secretion. It can be found in areas such as the pharynx, anus, male urethra, etc.
The stratified columnar epithelium’s function is for protection and secretion. It protects the conjunctiva and eyes.
Stratified columnar epithelium is a rare type of tissue in the body that require both protection and secretion it is located in the male urethra, large ducts of certain glands like the salivary and pancreatic ducts, the conjunctiva of the eye, parts of the pharynx and the anorectal junction.
The stratified columnar epithelium serves as protection and secretion in areas of the body such as the throat, glands, and urethra.
This epithelial tissue consists of multiple layers, with the apical (top) layer made up of columnar cells. It is relatively rare and is found in parts of the male urethra, large excretory ducts, and the conjunctiva of the eye.
Stratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue consisting of multiple layers of column-shaped cells. Its main functions include protection and secretion, particularly in areas that require a barrier against mechanical stress. It is found in locations such as parts of the male urethra, large excretory ducts, and the conjunctiva of the eye. The appearance of stratified columnar epithelium is characterized by tall, rectangular cells in the outer layers, while the basal layers may be cuboidal or columnar. It’s a relatively rare tissue type compared to others like stratified squamous epithelium.
Stratified columnar epithelium is a tissue made up of several layers of cells, with the surface layer consisting of tall, column-shaped cells. It is relatively rare and is found in specific locations such as the ducts of exocrine glands, parts of the male urethra, and the conjunctiva of the eye. This type of epithelium provides protection to underlying tissues and helps in secretion, particularly in glandular structures. The deeper layers often contain cuboidal or irregularly shaped cells, which assist in regeneration. Stratified columnar epithelium plays a crucial role in areas that need both a protective barrier and the ability to secrete fluids.
Stratified columnar epithelium shows taller than wider cells in the more upper layer.
It is a layered arrangement of columnar cells and is found in the conjunctiva of the eye, pharynx and anus. It provides protection and facilitates substance movement.
it is made up of multiple layers, commonly found in the conjuctiva, pharynx, and anus.
One kind of multilayered epithelial tissue is stratified columnar epithelium, in which columnar cells make up the apical layer. It is rather uncommon and only occurs in certain regions of the body, including the pharynx, anus, lobar ducts of the salivary glands, the conjunctiva of the eye, and portions of the male urethra. The two main purposes of this epithelium are secretion and protection. By serving as a barrier against microbiological and physical harm, it protects the tissues underneath. Additionally, it facilitates the release of mucus and other substances, including the mucus that keeps the eye's conjunctiva moist and clean. Additionally, it facilitates the removal of waste products from glands and the excretory system. The stratified columnar epithelium has vital secretory and defensive functions.
Stratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue that is not very common. It is characterized by having multiple layers of cells, with the apical (outermost) layer consisting of columnar cells (tall and column-shaped). It is found in the conjunctiva, parts of male urethra, and ducts of some glands. It functions as protection to underlying tissues. It also secretes mucus to keep cells moist and lubricated.
Stratified Columnar Epithelium is a rare type of tissue that is column-shaped. It is located in the conjunctive of the eyelids, lobar ducts, anus, pharynx, and male urethra. Its function is to protect tissues and organs from physical and microbial damages. Moreover, it secretes waste materials into ducts or out of the body.
Certain portions of the male urethra, the conjunctiva of the eye, and some big excretory ducts are examples of the extremely uncommon tissue type known as stratified columnar epithelium. Its main purpose is protection, preventing microbiological and physical harm to the tissues and organs beneath. By secreting mucus, it helps keep the eyes moist and shields the conjunctiva. In the excretory system, this epithelium also contributes to secretion, which aids in the removal of waste. The apical layer of this tissue's multilayered cell arrangement, which includes columnar cells, adds to its secretory and protective properties.
