🗑
voluntary   can be consciously controlled  
🗑
goblet cells-what they are, where they're found, and what they do   flask-shaped glandular cells that are scattered among the columnar cells of simple columnar epithelium and secretes mucus onto the free surface of the tissue to protect it

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
