Q. If for some reason our goblet cells are non-functional this will adversely affect
A) Smooth movement of food down the intestine
B) Production of somatostatin
C) Secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands
D) Maturation of sperms
Explanation
[Solution from source] Goblet cells are unicellular glands in the columnar epithelium of the alimentary canal, and they secrete mucus. Mucus lubricates the gut lining so food moves smoothly. Somatostatin comes from delta cells, and sebum from sebaceous glands, so goblet cells play no part in either. Answer (1).
