Would a mucus secreting goblet cell would be an example of a unicellular gland?
Goblet cells.
Mucus secreting goblet cells aren't found in what organ systems?
endocrine
What is psuedostratified columnar epithelium?
looks as if it is more than one layer, but not all cells reach free surfaceoften has goblet cells and ciliathe function is secreting and moving mucousfound in the repiratory tract from nose to bronchi, and some parts of the male reproductive tract.
The tracheal epithelium is ciliated and has goblet cells what is the function of each of these modifications?
The function of the goblet cells are to secrete mucus which will trap any dust particles and bacteria that may have been inhaled. The cilia work together with the goblet cells by beating, pushing the mucus liquid up, out of the trachea with the dust particles ad bacteria that need to be removed from the body. This beating action by the cilia is known as the 'sweeping action'.
Which organ structure goblet cells is?
The goblet cells are found and scattered among the other cells in the epithelium.
What is commonly found wedged between simple columnar epithelial cells?
Goblet cells
Would a mucus secreting goblet cell would be an example of a unicellular gland?
Goblet cells.
Mucus secreting goblet cells aren't found in what organ systems?
endocrine
What organelles are found in the goblet cell?
all cells of the body have pretty much the same organelles. but goblet cells do a lot of secreting. so theyll most likely have a high number of Golgi apparatus' and rough endoplasmic reticuli

Helps protect internal organs that are connected with the outside of the body by secreting a sticky fluid that traps microbes?
That would be mucus, secreted by goblet cells.
Do glands secrete mucus?
You may be thinking of the sublingual gland. But there are many mucus secreting cells embedded in the epithelium of various tissues (such as intestinal tract, female reproductive tract, etc.)
What is the function of the goblet cells and which type of membrane do they occur?
Function: To secrete mucus to coat and protect the epithelia.Membrane: Mucous Membrane
What is the protective function of the cilia and goblet cells of the trachea?
Mucus secreted by goblet cells trap the foreign particles. Cilia push the particles out wards. This protects your lungs from damage by the foreign particles.
Can the endocrine system affect cells?
Yes, the endocrine system can affect cells. By secreting hormones into the bloodstream, the endocrine system sends chemical messengers to cells that alter their function.
What secretes mucus onto the surface of the epithelium to capture dust particles in the trachea?
The goblet cells have this function.
What are mucus producing cells?
The cells that makes mucus are called goblet cells. These are glandular simple columnar epithelial cells that secrete gel forming mucins, which are the major component of mucus.
