👉 Xenocyst is a type of epithelial cell found in the digestive tract. It's responsible for secreting enzymes and other substances that help break down food into smaller particles, making it easier to digest. Xenocysts are often found in the stomach, intestines, and small intestine. They can also be found in the gut lining itself, where they help protect the intestinal cells from damage caused by bacteria or other pathogens.
