Mucus is primarily produced by the mucous membranes lining various organs in the body, particularly in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive tracts. Goblet cells, which are specialized epithelial cells found in these membranes, secrete mucus to lubricate and protect these surfaces. Additionally, the salivary glands also produce mucus as part of saliva. Mucus serves important functions, including trapping pathogens and facilitating the movement of materials.
