Question

multiple choice question
a goblet cell is a mucus - secreting cell housed in an otherwise nonsecretory epithelium and is therefore an example of a(n) ______ gland.
o multicellular
o merocrine
o compound
o unicellular

Explanation:

Goblet cells are single - celled glands that secrete mucus. Unicellular glands consist of a single cell performing the secretory function. Multicellular glands have multiple cells. Merocrine refers to a mode of secretion. Compound refers to a type of gland structure with multiple components. Since a goblet cell is a single cell, it is a unicellular gland.

Answer:

unicellular
