Cuboidal Cell

A cuboidal cell refers to a type of cell that has a cube-like shape. It is one of the several different cell shapes found in living organisms. Cuboidal cells are typically found in glandular tissues, where their structure and function are specialized for secretion and absorption.

In the context of biology, a cuboidal cell can also refer to a specific type of epithelial cell that possesses a cube-like shape. These cells are organized in a single layer and line various surfaces of the body, such as the kidney tubules, salivary glands, and respiratory passages.

Examples:

• The cuboidal cells in the kidney tubules help in the reabsorption of nutrients.
• The secretory glands are made up of cuboidal cells that produce and release specific substances.
• The respiratory passages are lined with cuboidal cells that facilitate mucus production and absorption.
