Does the stomach contain hormone producing cells?
"Glands" are like tiny pits in the lining of the stomach. These glands are lined with certain cells: Parietal cells: secrete acid and intrinsic factor Mucous cells: secrete mucus Chief cells: secrete pepsinogen Enteroendocrine cells: secrete various Stem cells: create new cells (So glands are not cells)
What are cells that reach the surface either secrete mucus or bear cilia that sweep away mucus and trapped foreing particles?
The function of cilia is to remove foreign particles and mucus from the surface of the respiratory system. This is to prevent the blockage of airways.

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.
What are Wine glass shaped cells that secrete mucus?
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.
Specialized columnar cells that secrete mucus onto the surfaces of the tissue are called?
Surface cells

Do glands secrete mucus?
You may be thinking of the sublingual gland. But there are many mucus secreting cells embedded in the epithelium of various tissues (such as intestinal tract, female reproductive tract, etc.)
What is the stomach coated with?
mucus cells (NOT goblet cells) make and secrete mucus into the gastric pit of the stomach lumen. The mucus covers the stomach protecting it from the acidic environment of HCL (pH aprox 2) that could harm the stomach without this mucus lining.
