Best Answer

Paneth cells are one of the four principal cells that represent the epithelium of the small intestines. Paneth cells are attached to stem cells and may play an important role in protecting them.

What cell in the digestive system produces lysozyme?

Paneth cellsIn addition to defensins, Paneth cells secrete lysozyme[6], tumor necrosis factor-alpha[6] , and phospholipase A2.[citation needed] Lysozyme and phospholipase A2 both have clear antimicrobial activity. This battery of secretory molecules gives Paneth cells a potent arsenal against a broad spectrum of agents, including bacteria, fungi and even some enveloped viruses.

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.


What sort of cells occur in the epithelium lining the villi and crypts of Lieberlukn and what are their function?

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.
