Intestinal Absorptive Cells. Absorptive cells, or enterocytes, are the predominant epithelial cell type lining the lumen of the small intestine and colon. These cells are specialized for absorption of nutrients across the apical plasma membrane and export of these same nutrients across the basal plasma membrane.
Describe the cell types located in the crypts of Lieberkhan. These intestinal glands are lined by goblet cells and intestinal absorptive cells. Enteroendocrine cells are found along their lateral borders. At the bottom of the gland are Paneth cells (zymogenic cells). The paneth cells contain large granules in their apical cytoplasm which contain zinc and lysozyme.
