Simple cuboidal epithelium is specialized for secretion and absorption and is found in places like the thyroid gland, ovaries, and lining most of the kidney tubules. Stratified squamous epithelium is typically found in areas subject to abrasion like the skin. Stratified cuboidal epithelium is relatively rare and has a protective function. Simple squamous epithelium is thin and is involved in diffusion - like in the alveoli of the lungs.
