Expert Solution
Step 1

The image depicts cells that are arranged in a single layer. The height of each cell roughly equals its width. In a perpendicular cross-section, each cell resembles a cube. These cells are called simple cuboidal epithelial cells.

Simple cuboidal cells provide a layer of protection from external injury, invading microorganisms, and other foreign bodies, preventing water loss.
They also help in the transport of materials in and out of the lumen, depending on the location.

Simple cuboidal epithelium differentiates to form the secretory and duct portions of glands.
