Question

part d (4 of 4)

where is simple cuboidal epithelium found in the body?

select all that apply.

ducts of large sweat glands
kidney tubules
lining of the large intestine
thyroid follicles
kidneys (glomerular capsule)

Explanation:

Analyze tissue type

The question asks for the anatomical locations of Simple Cuboidal Epithelium. This tissue consists of a single layer of cube-shaped cells, specialized for secretion and absorption.

Evaluate each option

• Ducts of large sweat glands: These are typically lined by stratified cuboidal epithelium, not simple cuboidal.
• Kidney tubules: The proximal and distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys are classic examples lined by Simple Cuboidal Epithelium to facilitate absorption and secretion.
• Lining of the large intestine: This is lined by simple columnar epithelium, which contains goblet cells.
• Thyroid follicles: The follicular cells of the thyroid gland are composed of Simple Cuboidal Epithelium that secretes thyroid hormones.
• Kidneys (glomerular capsule): The parietal layer of the glomerular (Bowman's) capsule is lined by simple squamous epithelium, not cuboidal.

Select correct options

Based on histological locations, the correct choices are "Kidney tubules" and "Thyroid follicles".

Answer:

• Ducts of large sweat glands
• Kidney tubules (Correct answer)
• Lining of the large intestine
• Thyroid follicles (Correct answer)
• Kidneys (glomerular capsule)
