Large intestine
The intestinal glands of the colon are simple tubular glands, which are longer than the mucosa. Therefore, the bases of the glands curl as they near the muscularis mucosae. Simple columnar epithelium, composed of goblet cells and absorptive cells with microvilli, lines the large intestine. 400
