| 11. | Goblet cells secrete mucus, which lubricates the passage of food along and protects it from digestive enzymes.
|
| 12. | It contains a balance of electrolytes and extra water that helps the mucus-producing goblet cells recover, studies showed.
|
| 13. | There are glands and mucus produced by goblet cells in parts, as well as smooth muscle, elastin or cartilage.
|
| 14. | Interspersed with the epithelial cells are goblet cells which produce mucous, and club cells with actions similar to macrophages.
|
| 15. | The goblet cell is highly polarised with the nucleus and other organelles concentrated at the base of the cell.
|
| 16. | The submucosal glands are a companion to goblet cells which also produce mucus, and are found lining the same tubes.
|
| 17. | Enterocytes, along with goblet cells, represent the principal cell types of the epithelium of the villi in the small intestine.
|
| 18. | Mucus is made by two types of specialized cells termed mucus cells in the stomach and goblet cells in the intestines.
|
| 19. | The mucus secreted by goblet cells acts as a lubricant and protects the epithelial cell layer against irritation from mucosal contents.
|
| 20. | It is a major cellular protein of mature enterocytes and goblet cells and is specifically found in the gastric and intestinal mucosa.
