Answers (1)
Goblet cells are responsible for producing mucus, which plays a crucial role in protecting the mucosal layer by acting as a protective barrier against the corrosive effects of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Mucus acts as a lubricant and helps prevent damage to the stomach lining caused by the acidic environment.
Lysozyme, on the other hand, is an antibacterial enzyme found in saliva. It acts as a defense mechanism by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and protecting the oral cavity from infections.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
