Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Mucus is secreted from glands in goblet cells in the lining of the throat. Cilia (tiny hair-like structures) then brush the mucus in an upwards motion to the nose and mouth.
Cells which are specialized to secrete mucus are called mucous cells. Examples in the GI system include secretory cells of the salivary glands, esophageal glands, stomach surface, pyloric glands, and Brunner's glands of the duodenum.
