Question

Goblet cells are ______________.

• A. Unicellular glands
• B. Multicellular glands
• C. Stratified epithelium
• D. Dead keratinised cells

Answer 1

The correct option is A Unicellular glands

• Exocrine glands secrete their products onto the skin or into body cavities. Unicellular exocrine glands(Goblet cells) do this directly by exocytosis, while multicellular glands(salivary glands) transport their product through a duct on the epithelial surface.
• Products secreted by exocrine glands include sweat, oil, mucus, bile, and more.
• Unicellular Exocrine glands Goblet cells can be simple columnar epithelial cells that secrete gel-forming mucins, like mucin. Hence, goblet cells are unicellular glands.
  

So, the correct answer is 'unicellular glands'.
