Goblet cells create mucus. The entire gastrointestinal tract has the same four layers; mucosa, submucoa, muscularis, and serosa. The important function of the goblet cells, which are in the mucosa layer is to provide mucus so that products can move along the gastrointestinal tract from one end to the other smoothly by providing lubrication.

What are the cells that produce mucous in the large intestine called?
Goblet cells are the cells that produce mucus in the large intestine. These cells are specialized to secrete mucins, which help protect the intestinal lining and provide lubrication for the passage of stool.
What epithelial modification is particularly abundant in the large intestine?
Goblet cells are particularly abundant in the large intestine. These specialized cells secrete mucus, which helps to protect and lubricate the intestinal lining.
What are cells abundant within the large intestine called that produce large amounts of lubricating mucus to aid in the passage of feces to the end of the digestive tract?
goblet cells
How does the cells in the large intestine help the large intestine?
cd
Where are goblet cells found?
They are found scattered among the epithelial lining of organs, like the intestinal and respiratory tract. They are also found in the trachea, brounchus. They are also in the respiratory tract, small intestines, the colon, and conjunctiva in the upper eyelid .This information was all found on wikipedia so i cannot take all of the credit for this.
What type of cell is a goblet cell?
Goblet cells are specialized epithelial cells found in the lining of the digestive and respiratory tracts. They secrete mucus, a viscous fluid that helps protect and lubricate the mucous membranes of these organs.
Does the large intestine have villi?
The answer is small intestine.
Where does the water in the large intestine go?
It gets absorbed into the columnar cells lining the large intestine and from there, it enters the blood stream.
What is the special cell that lines the tubes in the respiratory system?
Goblet cells are found in the respiratory epithelium. They produce mucous which coats the tubes. Goblet cells are found scattered among the epithelial lining of organs, such as the intestinal and respiratory tracts. They are found inside the trachea, bronchi, and larger bronchioles in the respiratory tract, small intestines, the large intestine, and conjunctiva in the upper eyelid.
How does excess water move from the large intestine into the cells?
Excess water in the large intestine is primarily absorbed through osmosis. The cells lining the large intestine have selective permeability, allowing water to move from the intestinal lumen into the epithelial cells and eventually into the surrounding blood vessels. This process is facilitated by the concentration gradient, where water moves from areas of higher concentration (in the lumen) to lower concentration (in the cells and bloodstream). Additionally, the presence of aquaporin channels in cell membranes aids in the efficient transport of water.
How are digestive food carried to the body cells?
By the cells in your blood and they dissolve when they reach the large intestine.
What intestine absorbs water into bloodstream?
Colon and Large Intestine =)
