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.)
Submucosal glands that secrete mucus are a characteristic of the respiratory system. These glands help to keep the airways moist and trap foreign particles to protect the lungs from damage or infection.
They produce mucus upon arousal for vaginal lubrication.
The saliva glands secrete saliva, which contains water, electrolytes, mucus, and enzymes. Saliva helps in the initial digestion of food, lubrication of the mouth and throat, and maintenance of oral health.
The endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood.
Yes, endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
Mucus glands are exocrine, not endocrine, glands. They secrete mucus via ducts.

Various exocrine glands may secrete: 1. enzymes 2. sweat 3. milk 4. saliva
The uvula is an extension of the soft palate of the oral cavity and does not contain any glands that secrete fluid.
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.
The cells that secrete mucus are the goblet cells. They are not considered glands and there are no glands that are mucous.

Special glands under the skin of a frog secrete mucus and toxins. The mucus helps keep the skin moist, facilitating respiration and providing a protective barrier against pathogens. The toxic secretions can deter predators and serve as a defense mechanism. These adaptations are crucial for the frog's survival in its environment.
