Goblet cells secrete mucus to lubricate and protect the intestinal lining.
A lacteal is a lymphatic vessel in the villus that absorbs dietary fats and transports them to the lymphatic system.
Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa (circular and longitudinal smooth muscle), and serosa.

It carries nutrient-rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver for processing.
The bile duct transports bile produced by hepatocytes to the gallbladder and duodenum.
The muscularis mucosae produces local movements of the mucosa to enhance absorption and secretion.
The brush border is formed by microvilli on epithelial cells, increasing surface area for absorption.
They absorb and transport fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive tract.
It absorbs amino acids and sugars into the bloodstream.
Haustra are pouches that allow expansion and elongation of the colon during mass movement of feces.
Omental appendices are small fat-filled pouches of visceral peritoneum attached to the colon, possibly involved in immune response.
