How do all these folds increase the surface area and the absorption capacity of the small intestine? Observe the slide of the small intestine on display and draw a few representative villi, columnar epithelial cells on the villi and goblet cells and label them (Fig. 8). Goblet cells are glandular simple columnar epithelial cells whose sole function is to secrete mucin, which dissolves in water to form mucus.
