Colon epithelium:

The colon of large intestine is lined by the simple columnar epithelium. The epithelium covers the brush border and also lines the goblet cells of the colon.

Small intestine epithelium:

The epithelium of small intestine is lined by the mucosa epithelium tissue as well as the simple columnar epithelium. These tissue secrete mucus in the small intestine.
