Unicellular gland

This electron micrograph shows the apex of a goblet cell filled with mucin granules.  The goblet cell is flanked by non-secretory, ciliated cells of the respiratory epithelium.  The mucin granules contain highly glycosylated proteins which become hydrated after release, thereby forming mucus.  14,000x
