The glandular epithelium is responsible for producing and releasing secretions. It releases secretions such as enzymes, hormones, milk, mucus and sweat.
Do glands secrete mucus?

What specific things help to prevent mucus buildup from happening in the first place?
ANSWER dairy products are mucus producing cut down or cut out (which ever you prefer) dairy products such as milk, cheese, ice cream drink loads of water (its cleansing and flushes out toxins) antihistamines (histamines actually cause the release/ production of mucus) vasculrestrictors (constricts the blood flow in the nose to the mucus produsing cells) spicy food actually has the opposite effect and will help reduce the production of mucus (although its likely to cause some mucus production first)
Why is there mucus on poop?
Mucus is a naturally occurring substance that is produced by mucus-producing cells in various parts of the body. Mucus is found in the upper respiratory system and other parts of the body that help catch tiny foreign particles like dust so that the lungs are still able to filter the air efficiently without being impeded by tiny dust particles. Mucus in other parts of the body act as lubricant, like in the female reproductive system, or even in the process of defecation.
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.

Are the cells that line the bronchi covered with cilia to help move mucous or mucus out of the lungs?
