The specialized cell found in simple and pseudostratified columnar epithelium that produces mucus is the?
Goblet cell. It's responsible for secreting mucus, which helps protect and lubricate the epithelial surface.
An example of a unicellular gland is what?
A unicellular gland example is a goblet cell. Goblet cells are typically found in the lining of the respiratory and digestive tracts and secrete mucus to help lubricate and protect these surfaces.
How is a goblet cell adapted?
??
Where do goblet cells occur in the respiratory system?
Goblet cells are in the respiratory epithelium, which lines the airways from the pharynx down into the lungs. They secrete mucous.
What is the parts that protect the lungs?
Ribs is the main part that protect the lungs
Would a mucus secreting goblet cell would be an example of a unicellular gland?
No, a mucus-secreting goblet cell is an example of a unicellular exocrine gland. Unicellular glands, like goblet cells, are individual cells that secrete substances.
What tissue type are goblet cells located within?
Goblet cells are a type of epithelial cell found in mucous membranes throughout the body, such as the respiratory and digestive tracts. They secrete mucus to help protect and lubricate these surfaces.
How does the shape of a goblet cell affect the cell?
The shape of a goblet cell, which is flask-shaped, allows it to produce mucus and secrete it out onto the cell surface. This shape maximizes the cell's surface area for mucus production and release, which helps in lubricating and protecting the underlying tissues.
What is the function of globlet cells and cilia in trachea?
Goblet cells in the trachea produce mucus that helps to trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the airways. Cilia are hair-like structures that line the trachea and sweep the trapped particles and mucus up and out of the respiratory system toward the throat to be swallowed or expelled through coughing. Together, goblet cells and cilia help to protect the lungs from harmful substances.
Does bone protect the brain and lungs?
The skull protects the brain, and the ribs protect the lungs... so yes.
What is the rib cage protects?
well the ribs protect the lungs and i think the heart.
What size is the goblet cell?
In human bronchi, the cell volume of goblet cells is approximately 2400 micron3 according toMERCER, R. R., RUSSELL, M. L., ROGGLI, V. L. & CRAPO, J. D. 1994. Cell number and distribution in human and rat airways. American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology,10, 613-624.
