WEBNov 3, 2023 · Synonyms: none. Goblet cells are unicellular intraepithelial mucin-secreting glands scattered within simple epithelia, such as cuboidal, columnar, and pseudostratified epithelia. Their name corresponds to their shape, as they resemble a goblet, with their narrow bases and wide apex.

Goblet Cells - The Definitive Guide | Biology Dictionary
WEBJun 9, 2020 · Location of Goblet Cells Goblet cells are usually found scattered amongst the cells of the simple epithelial tissues that secrete mucus. In some areas, there are a small number of cells, but in others, goblet cells are highly abundant.
WEBStructure. Goblet cells are found scattered among the epithelial lining of organs, such as the intestinal and respiratory tracts. [6] . They are found inside the trachea, bronchi, and larger bronchioles in the respiratory tract, small intestines, the large intestine, and conjunctiva in the upper eyelid.
WEBMar 15, 2023 · Goblet cells originate from these pluripotent stem cells and form the intestinal mucus layer that protects epithelial cells. [2] Goblet cells anchor to the inner mucus layer of the colon. This mucus layer system separates bacteria from epithelial cells in a stratified and organized filter. [1]

Goblet Cells | Definition, Functions, Mucus Secretion and Diseases
WEBJun 12, 2021 · While most cells in the respiratory tract are ciliated columnar cells, there are some goblet cells present in the epithelia. In these locations, they are situated with their apices protruding into the lumen in order to react rapidly whenever a chronic airway insult happens or a foreign body is inhaled.
