SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM and GOBLET CELLS on a Villus in the Small Intestine, 250x - Photos

SIMPLE COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM and GOBLET CELLS on a Villus in the Small Intestine, 250X. This image shows numerous columnar absorbtive cells and four distinct goblet cells with mucus that is secreted into the lumen of the small intestine. The tall columnar cells show a striated border (composed of microvilli seen with an electron microscope), and desmosomes that help "weld" the cells to one another.
