A peg cell is a non-ciliated epithelial secretory cell within the uterine tube (oviduct or fallopian tube). [1] These cells represent one of three epithelial cell types found within the normal fallopian tube epithelium and only make up around 10% of the total number of cells. The other two cell types are ciliated columnar and intercalary cells. [1]
Peg laterals typically occur on both sides, [2] and have short roots. [2] Inheritance may be involved, [ 2 ] and the frequency of microdontia in the upper laterals is just under 1%. [ 1 ] The second most commonly involved tooth is the maxillary third molars, [ 3 ] and after this supernumerary teeth .

It consists of one or more layers of epithelial cells overlying a layer of loose connective tissue. It is mostly of endodermal origin and is continuous with the skin at body openings such as the eyes , eyelids , ears , inside the nose , inside the mouth , lips , the genital areas , the urethral opening and the anus .
Water is absorbed here and the remaining waste matter is stored prior to defecation. [2] There are many specialised cells of the GI tract. These include the various cells of the gastric glands, taste cells, pancreatic duct cells, enterocytes and microfold cells.
Changes indicative of disease are seen as alterations in the oral mucosa lining the mouth, which can reveal systemic conditions, such as diabetes or vitamin deficiency, or the local effects of chronic tobacco or alcohol use. [3] The oral mucosa tends to heal faster and with less scar formation compared to the skin. [4]
In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit, usually within a cell, that has a specific function.The name organelle comes from the idea that these structures are parts of cells, as organs are to the body, hence organelle, the suffix -elle being a diminutive.
Goblet cells are simple columnar epithelial cells, having a height of four times that of their width. The cytoplasm of goblet cells tends to be displaced toward the basal end of the cell body by the large mucin granules, which accumulate near the apical surface of the cell along the Golgi apparatus, which lies between the granules and the nucleus.
