Columar epithelium is a type of simple epithelium characterised by the presence of tall column like cells. Its major function is absorption or secretion. It covers the inner surface of the intestine, stomach and gall bladder. In the intestine it appears to have a brush like appearance on the free surface, which is due to the presence of large number of microvilli. Function of microvilli, is to enhance absorption. Due to the presence of microvilli, the epithelium is also called as brush bordered columnar epithelium.
