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.
Specialized exocrine cells of the mucosa known as mucous cells secrete mucus into the lumen of the stomach and into the gastric pits. This mucus spreads across the surface of the mucosa to coat the lining of the stomach with a thick, acid- and enzyme-resistant barrier.
