Structure

  • The columnar epithelium consists of elongated cells which are placed side by side like columns with slightly roader outer free surfaces.
  • The nuclei of these cells are elongated and lie near the bases of the cells.  
  • Some cells of this epithelium contain mucus and look like goblets. These are called goblet cells. 
  • The epithelium containing goblet cells i.e. mucus-secreting cells along with the underlying connective tissue is called mucosa. These are found in the stomach and intestine. 
  • Location
  • Simple columnar epithelium lines the stomach, intestine, gallbladder and bile ducts.
