a) |
Production of somatostatin |
b) |
Secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands |
c) |
Maturation of sperms |
d) |
Smooth movement of food downwards the intestine |

(d)
Goblet cells are present in the columnar epithelium of the mammalian intestine and secrete mucin, a mucoprotein that forms mucus when in solution. If Goblet cells become non-functional, this will adversely affect smooth movement of food downwards the intestine due to absence of mucin.
