Location: alveoli of lungs
Function: diffusion
Simple Cuboidal Epithelial Tissue
Location: salivary glands
Function: secretion and absorption
Simple Columnar Epithelial Tissue
Location: small intestine
Function: secretion of digestive enzymes, absorption of nutrients
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar E. T.
