Simple Cuboidal Epithelium

Flashcards on simple cuboidal epithelial tissue structure and histology.

Simple cuboidal cell

An epithelial cell that is as tall as it is wide with a central spherical nucleus, lining structures such as the kidney tubules, thyroid follicles, and surface of ovaries.

Lumen of kidney tubule

The inner fluid-filled space or channel of a kidney tubule surrounded by simple cuboidal epithelial cells.

Basement membrane

The membrane underlying simple cuboidal cells that anchors the epithelial cell layer.

Nucleus (Simple Cuboidal Cell)

The spherical organelle positioned centrally within a simple cuboidal epithelial cell.
