The type of epithelium is simple columnar epithelium.

Goblet cells are a simple columnar epithelial cells that secrete mucins that form mucus.

Microvilli on the other hand is a microscopic cellular membrane that has the form of a finger like projection and has the function of increasing the cell area in order to facilitate the cells absorption.
