Stratified cuboidal epithelium is a type of tissue composed of multiple layers of cube-shaped cells. This tissue is primarily found in certain glands, such as sweat glands, salivary glands, and mammary glands. Its main function is to provide protection and support while also facilitating secretion. This epithelial type is relatively rare compared to other forms, such as simple cuboidal epithelium. The multiple layers help to enhance durability and prevent damage from external factors. Stratified cuboidal epithelium plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of glandular structures in the body.
