If for some reason our goblet cells are non -functional, this will adversely effect
Production of somatostatin
secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands
maturation of sperms
maturation of sperms

maturation of sperms
Goblet cells are something like a wine glass that presents in the columnar epithelium of the mammalian intestine and secretes mucin, a mucoprotein that forms mucus when in solution. if Goblet cells become non-functional this will adversely affect the smooth movement of food down the intestine due to the absence of mucin
The kind of epithelium which forms the inner walls of blood vessels is
cuboidal epithelium
columnar epithelium
ciliated columnar epithelium
ciliated columnar epithelium
