The body contains several "self washing" structures, including the mouth, nose and sinsuses, the lungs, and vagina, to name a few. In each, mucous and secreted fluids help to reduce infection and maintain health.

The submucosa of large airways contains bronchial submucosal glands that connect to the bronchial surface by long, narrow ducts. These glands with the help of goblet cells are the major sourse of respiratory tract secretions in healthy lungs. The number of these glands inreases significantly in diseases such as chronic bronchitis.
