Which tissues contain glands specialized to secrete mucous?
Mucous-secreting glands are primarily found in epithelial tissues. These glands are commonly located in the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and certain parts of the reproductive system. For example, goblet cells in the respiratory and intestinal epithelium secrete mucus to protect and lubricate surfaces. Additionally, mucous glands can be found in salivary glands and the gastric mucosa of the stomach.
What is a thin sticky film produced by the mucous glands?
Mucus is the thin, sticky film produced by the mucous glands.
What does the dermis does not contain?

What sticks to the cilia?

Some salivary glands produce both mucous and serous secretions, and these are called "mixed" glands. -Pasqualino P.
What glands under a frogs skin keep the skin moist?
Mucous glands
In what layer would mucus secreting glands be found in a mucous membrane?
Mucus-secreting glands are typically found in the lamina propria, which is the connective tissue layer of a mucous membrane. This layer lies beneath the epithelial layer and provides support, nourishment, and houses various glands, including those that secrete mucus. The mucus helps to lubricate and protect the epithelial surface.
What are buccal glands?

Is snot living?
No it is not a living thing it is produced by the body in various places as protection.In vertebrates, mucus (adjectival form: "mucous") is a slippery secretion produced by, and covering, mucous membranes. Mucous fluid is typically produced from mucous cells found in mucous glands. Mucous cells secrete products that are rich in glycoproteins and water. Mucous fluid may also originate from mixed glands, which contain both serous and mucous cells. It is a viscous colloid containing antiseptic enzymes (such as lysozyme), proteins such as lactoferrin,[1] glycoproteins known as mucins that are produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes and submucosal glands, immunoglobulins, and inorganic salts. This mucus serves to protect epithelial cells in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, urogenital, visual, and auditory systems in mammals; the epidermis in amphibians; and the gills in fish. A major function of this mucus is to protect against infectious agents such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. The average human body produces about a liter of mucus per day.The colloquial name for nasal mucus is snot.Snails, slugs, bony fish, hagfish and some other invertebrates also produce external mucus. In addition to serving a protective function against infectious agents, such mucus provides protection against toxins produced by predators, can facilitate movement and may play a role in communication.
