  2. Peg cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peg_cell

    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]

  3. Simple columnar epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_columnar_epithelium

    The ciliated part of the simple columnar epithelium has tiny hairs which help move mucus and other substances up the respiratory tract. The shape of the simple columnar epithelium cells are tall and narrow giving a column like appearance. the apical surfaces of the tissue face the lumen of organs while the basal side faces the basement membrane ...

    Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is an endoscopic medical procedure in which a tube (PEG tube) is passed into a patient's stomach through the abdominal wall, most commonly to provide a means of feeding when oral intake is not adequate (for example, because of dysphagia or sedation).

  7. Goblet cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goblet_cell

    Goblet cells are typically found in the respiratory, reproductive and lower gastrointestinal tract and are surrounded by other columnar cells. [1] Biased differentiation of airway basal cells in the respiratory epithelium , into goblet cells plays a key role in the excessive mucus production, known as mucus hypersecretion seen in many ...

  8. Gastrointestinal physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_physiology

    Mucus is released in the stomach and intestine, and serves to lubricate and protect the inner mucosa of the tract. It is composed of a specific family of glycoproteins termed mucins and is generally very viscous. Mucus is made by two types of specialized cells termed mucous cells in the stomach and goblet cells in the intestines. Signals for ...

  9. Pylorus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pylorus

    The duct is lined by columnar cells, continuous with the epithelium lining the surface of the mucous membrane of the stomach, the tubes by shorter and more cubical cell which are finely granular. The glands contain mucous cells and G cells that secrete gastrin. [8] The pylorus also contains scattered parietal cells and neuroendocrine cells.
