Paneth cells are cells in the small intestine epithelium, alongside goblet cells, enterocytes, and enteroendocrine cells.[1] Some can also be found in the cecum and appendix. They are below the intestinal stem cells in the intestinal glands (also called crypts of Lieberkühn) and the large eosinophilic refractile granules that occupy most of their cytoplasm.
These granules consist of several anti-microbial compounds and other compounds that are known to be important in immunity and host-defense. When exposed to bacteria or bacterial antigens, Paneth cells secrete some of these compounds into the lumen of the intestinal gland, thereby contributing to maintenance of the gastrointestinal barrier.
Paneth cells are named after 19th century pathologist, Joseph Paneth.

The crypts of Lieberkuhn are the tubular glands that lie between the finger-like projections of the small intestine called villi. - The cells of these glands are called paneth cells, which secrete antibacterial lysozyme. ... So, the correct answer is 'Secretion of succus entericus'...
