TIME OF APPEARANCE OF GOBLET CELLS IN HUMAN SMALL INTESTINE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 17
Abstract
BACKGROUND Goblet cells form an important component of the lining epithelium of the small intestine. The time of appearance of goblet cells in the human foetus, however, is not widely reported. Few authors have reported the appearance of these cells at 9 - 10 weeks of gestational age. This study is an attempt to find out the exact time of appearance of goblet cells in the human small intestine. MATERIALS AND METHODS After obtaining clearance from the Ethics Committee, specimens of small intestine were procured from 50 aborted foetuses and processed for histological observations. Haematoxylin and Eosin stain was used for staining the prepared slides. RESULTS Goblet cells were observed at 9 weeks of gestational age in the small intestine of a few foetuses. At 12 weeks of development, goblet cells were seen in all the foetal specimens studied. CONCLUSION The present study found that goblet cells in the human small intestine started appearing before 9 weeks of gestational age in some foetuses. Goblet cells start to appear before 9 weeks in few foetuses and in most of the foetuses it will appear by 12 weeks.
