Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The epithelial tissue that lines the kidney tubules is simple cuboidal epithelium, which appears as a single layer of cube-shaped cells. This is best seen in micrograph B, where the cells appear to be roughly equal in height and width and have round nuclei located in their centers, characteristic of simple cuboidal epithelium. The other micrographs (A, C, D, and E) show different types of epithelial tissue, such as stratified squamous epithelium, pseudostratified columnar epithelium, and transitional epithelium.
