Goblet cells stomach
The cells that makes mucus are called goblet cells. These are glandular simple columnar epithelial cells that secrete gel forming mucins, which are the major component of mucus.

Goblet cells are the cells that produce mucus in the large intestine. These cells are specialized to secrete mucins, which help protect the intestinal lining and provide lubrication for the passage of stool.
Mucus-producing cells are specialized cells found in various tissues throughout the body, such as in the respiratory and digestive systems. These cells secrete mucus, a thick and slippery substance that helps to lubricate and protect the lining of organs from damage and infection. Mucus also plays a role in trapping and removing foreign particles, like dust and bacteria, from the body.
Goblet cells secrete mucus, a viscous fluid composed primarily of highly glycosylated proteins called mucins suspended in a solution of electrolytes.Goblet cells.
The Wine glass shaped cells that secrete mucus are called "goblet cells". These are simple columnar epithelial cells found scattered among the epithelial linings of intestine and respiratory tract.
Mucus is produced by specialized cells called goblet cells that are found in the lining of various organs such as the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and reproductive system. These cells secrete mucus, which helps to lubricate and protect the lining of these organs.
The cells that line the trachea and sweep mucus up to the pharynx are called ciliated epithelial cells. These cells have tiny hair-like structures called cilia that beat in a coordinated manner to move mucus, which traps dust and pathogens, upward towards the throat for expulsion or swallowing. This process is part of the respiratory system's defense mechanism, helping to keep the airways clear.
Mucus and cilia are commonly found wedged between simple columnar epithelial cells. The mucus helps to trap debris and pathogens, while the cilia help to move the mucus and its contents along the surface of the cells.
Goblet cells in the respiratory tract produce and secrete proteins called mucins, which contribute to mucus production. These proteins help to trap and remove foreign particles and pathogens from the airways.
== == The secretion itself is spelled "mucus". The membranes that secrete mucus are called the "mucous membranes", hence the difference in the two spellings. It *is* confusing since they are both pronounced the same way.
