TL;DR: The pattern of mucin secretion of the gastrointestinal tract of the toad was investigated by histochemical methods and found that Goblet cells of the small intestine and cloaca secreted acid mucins, which were predominently sulphated mucins.
Abstract: The pattern of mucin secretion of the gastrointestinal tract of the toad (B. melanostictus) was investigated by histochemical methods. The goblet cells of the oesophagus secreted mainly acid mucins which were sialomucins, while the cells lining the surface of the stomach produced neutral mucins only. Goblet cells of the small intestine and cloaca secreted acid mucins, which were predominently sulphated mucins.
