The salivary glands are composed of which two types of cells?
The two types of cells that make salivary glands areserous cells that secrete watery fluid without mucusmucuous cells that secrete watery fluid with mucuous
What cells are responsible for neutralizing acidity?
The cells responsible for neutralizing acidity in the stomach are the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa, particularly the mucous neck cells and surface mucous cells. These cells secrete mucus and bicarbonate, which help to protect the stomach lining from the corrosive effects of gastric acid. Additionally, pancreatic acinar cells produce bicarbonate, which is released into the small intestine to neutralize stomach acid as chyme enters the duodenum.
What cells are in a simple columnar and pseudostratified columnar epithelia produce protective mucous coatings over the mucous membranes?
Goblet cells are the cells in both simple columnar and pseudostratified columnar epithelia that produce protective mucous coatings over mucous membranes. These cells secrete mucus, which helps to lubricate and protect the surface of the tissues from damage, dehydration, and invasion by pathogens.
The acinar cells of pancraes produce?
The acinar cells of the pancreas produce digestive enzymes that are released into the small intestine to help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the food we eat, aiding in their digestion and absorption.
Why are the cells of mucous membrane are open to virus attacks?
The cells of mucous membranes are open to virus attacks because they are not covered by a skin.

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
What is lined with mucous-secreting cells called the mucosa.?
The Stomach
Does the large intestine have villi?
The answer is small intestine.
The structures that produce new cells for the mucosa of the small intestine are the?
Intestinal Crypts
Which of these is lined with mucous-secreting cells called the mucosa?
esophagus Every system that has an outside opening produces mucous. This includes the respiratory, urinary, digestive and urogenital systems. Also the lining of the eye produces mucous. This substance keeps the membranes moist and prevents them from drying out.
What type of tissue is mucous?
mucous cells
What does the intestine wall made of?
Epithelial cells called villi
What are the Crypts of lieberkuhn?
They are intestinal cells found in the Small Intestine (SI). They are in the inter-villi space (between villi) and project down into the lamina propria of the SI. They contain Paneth cells, which secrete lysozymes.
Is mucous membranes sterile?
Mucous membranes are not sterile as they are lined with cells that produce mucus and harbor bacteria and other microorganisms. The presence of commensal bacteria helps maintain the balance of the microbiome and supports the immune system.
