Stratified cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue composed of multiple layers of cube-shaped cells.

Only the most superficial layer is made up of cuboidal cells, and the other layers can be cells of other types.

Distribution and Function

This type of tissue can be observed in sweat glands, mammary glands, cicumanal glands, and salivary glands.^[1]^[2] They protect areas such as the ducts of sweat glands,^[3] mammary glands, and salivary glands.
