Large intestine
The mucosa of the large intestine is lined by absorptive and goblet cells forming a simple columnar epithelium with microvilli. Goblet cells increase in number from the beginning to the termination of the large intestine, providing lubrication. A reduced number of enteroendocrine cells is present. Straight intestinal glands are typical of the large intestine. 400x
