Goblet cell
Definition
Unicellular exocrine gland, dispersed in epitheliums of intestinal and respiratory tracts, makes mucus
Term
Ground substance
Definition
Mostly water along with adhesion proteins and polysaccharide molecules
Term
collogen fibers
Definition
white fibers, heavy cross-linking increases stength
Term
Elastic Fibers
Definition
long, thin fibers that can strtch and recoil for elasticity
