Goblet cells are
mucus-secreting cells which lie in the walls of glands and ducts lined by
columnar cells, either plain or ciliated. Goblet cells secrete mucus or mucin
and express it on to the surface; they act as mucus secreting glands and are
most numerous where a considerable amount of mucus covers the surface as in the
stomach, colon and trachea.
