Colon lining. Light micrograph of a section through the lining (mucosa) of the large intestine,or colon,showing the cells. 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,which secrete a lubricant into the colon which aids the movement of faeces,and absorptive columnar epithelial cells,which absorb water from the faeces | |
