Simple squamous epithelium is found in areas where diffusion or filtration occurs, such as the alveoli in the lungs and the walls of blood vessels. Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in glands and kidney tubules, where secretion and absorption take place. Simple columnar epithelium lines the digestive tract and functions in absorption and secretion.
Simple columnar epithelium is a single layer of tall, closely-packed cells that provide more structural support and protection than the flattened cells of squamous epithelium, which are more easily stretched and torn. The columnar shape allows for increased cell-to-cell contact and secretion of protective mucous, making the simple columnar epithelium better equipped to resist mechanical stresses and abrasion.
Simple squamous epithelium consists of a single layer of flattened cells. These cells are very thin, allowing for rapid exchange of substances through diffusion. Simple squamous epithelium is found in tissues where efficient diffusion is important, such as the alveoli in the lungs and the lining of blood vessels.
Stratified squamous epithelium would heal faster compared to simple columnar epithelium because it consists of multiple layers of cells and has a greater capacity for replication and regeneration. This allows stratified squamous epithelium to replace damaged cells more quickly and promote faster healing.
The four types of epithelial tissue based on their special functions are: Simple squamous epithelium, for filtration and diffusion Simple cuboidal epithelium, for absorption and secretion Simple columnar epithelium, for secretion and absorption Pseudostratified columnar epithelium, for secretion and propulsion of mucus
The three types of epithelial tissue based on their shape are squamous (flat and scale-like), cuboidal (cube-shaped), and columnar (tall and rectangular). Each type of epithelial tissue serves different functions in the body based on its shape and structure.

Simple squamous epithilium
There are 8 types; simple squamous, simple columnar, simple cuboidal, stratified squamous, stratified cuboidal, stratified columnar, pseudostratified columnar, and transitional.
Simple columnar epithelium cells will heal faster than stratified squamous cells. The stratified squamous cells rarely have contact with blood.
