Detailed Solution

Cilia and microvilli are commonly found on the free surface of columnar and cuboidal epithelium, they are not typically present on squamous epithelium. 
The presence or absence of these structures reflects the specialized functions of different epithelial types in various tissues and organs. Squamous epithelium is adapted for rapid diffusion, while columnar and cuboidal epithelium often have structures that facilitate processes such as absorption and movement.
