If for some reason goblet cells are non functional, this will adversely affect:

Options

(a) production of somatostatin
(b) secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands
(c) maturation of sperms
(d) smooth movement of food down the intes-tine

Correct Answer:

smooth movement of food down the intes-tine

Explanation:

Gobet cells, found in the intestinal mucosal epithelium, secrete mucus. The mucus lubricates the food for an easy passage. So, if for some reason, goblet cells become non-functional, it will adversely affect the smooth movement of food down the intestine.
