Simple columnar epithelium

This epithelium consists of a single layer of cells that are much taller than they are wide. Nuclei may be located in the basal or central region of the cell and they typically assume the shape of the cells: oval in taller cells and more spherical if the column is shorter. Microvilli are present at the free surface of the cells and collectively appear as a dark, narrow band adjacent to the lumen. These microvilli form the brush border. Small intestine, 1000x
