The primary functions of cubic cells include: - Secretion: In glands such as the thyroid and salivary glands, cubic cells are responsible for the production and release of hormones and enzymes. - Absorption: In the kidneys, cubic cells in the renal tubules absorb nutrients and water, playing a crucial role in maintaining electrolyte balance and homeostasis. - Protection: By forming a layer, cubic cells provide a barrier that protects underlying tissues from toxins, pathogens, and physical trauma.
