Identify the cell that is correctly paired with its associated function.
A) absorptive cells: secrete intestinal juice
B) goblet cells: secrete lysozyme

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

K cells secrete glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), which stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells in response to glucose in the small intestine. Absorptive cells are responsible for absorbing nutrients, goblet cells produce mucus, and Paneth cells produce antimicrobial peptides.
