Colon lining. Light micrograph of a section of the lining (mucosa) of the large intestine,or colon. The colon is lined with intestinal villi (finger-like projections). Villi contain crypts of Lieberkuhn,which are elongated pockets that lie in the vascular submucosa. These glands contain two types of cells: goblet cells (blue),which secrete a lubricant into the colon which aids the movement of faeces,and absorptive columnar epithelial cells (purple),which absorb water from the faeces | |
