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-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.
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.)
Goblet cells are specialized epithelial cells found in the lining of the digestive and respiratory tracts. They secrete mucus, a viscous fluid that helps protect and lubricate the mucous membranes of these organs.
Goblet cells in the digestive tract secrete mucus, which is a polysaccharide-rich substance.
They are found primarily in the large intestine in numerous 'intestinal glands' with abundant goblet cells - they secrete no digestive enzymes but a good deal of mucus. Another offering is that they may be found scattered among the epithelial lining of organs, such as the bronchus and trachea, bronchioles in the respiratory tract; small intestines, and conjunctiva in the upper eyelid.
Goblet cells secrete mucus, a viscous fluid composed primarily of highly glycosylated proteins called mucins suspended in a solution of electrolytes.Goblet cells.
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.

Mucus also plays a role in trapping and removing foreign particles, like dust and bacteria, from the body.
Mucus cells secrete mucus, which is a thick, viscous fluid that helps protect and lubricate epithelial surfaces. Serous cells secrete a watery, protein-rich fluid called serous fluid, which helps reduce friction between organs and provides nutrients and immune protection.
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.
"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)
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.
