Enterocytes (absorptive cells) consist of many tightly packed microvilli over a plasma membrane that contains transport mechanisms for absorption and produces enzymes for the final step in digestion. Goblet cells are found on and between the villi on the crypt mucosa. These cells are responsible for the production and maintenance of the protective mucus blanket by synthesizing and secreting glycoproteins known as mucins. Enteroendocrine cells, often found in the lower part of the crypts, produce the hormones secretin and cholecystokinin. Paneth cells provide host defense against microbes in the small intestine. They secrete a number of antimicrobial molecules into the lumen of the crypt, thereby contributing to maintenance of the gastrointestinal barrier.
