Collecting duct

(Loop of Henle)

Simple

squamous epithelium - which allows reabsorption of molecules - present in the Renal corpuscle cells with microvilli- primarily in the proximal convulutes tubule -which helps in the reabsorption of 6065% of the water filtered in the glomerulus, along with almost all of the nutrients , ions, vitamins, and small plasma proteins, this can be seen in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron,

Cuboidal

Simple

epithelia in the loop of henle where the major exchanges of water and salts takes place which helps maintain the bodys essential and electrolyte balance
cuboidal epithelium with short microvilli - primarily in the distal convoluted tubule. -where secretion and reabsorption of ion takes place, reponsible to the regulation of the pH in the urine

Simple

In

the glomerulus is composed of endothelial cells at the capillary wall that contain pores. These pores increase capillary permeability but do not allow passage of large molecules and blood cells. Thats why normally protein and blood cells are not present in the urine.
