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.
Actual mucus-secreting cells are scattered among other cells of many mucous membranes, particularly in the intestines and the upper part of the respiratory tract. They are known as âgoblet cellsâ because of the shape of the globule of mucus which may be seen under the microscope inside the cells or discharging through a disrupted cell membrane.
