Why is it that when you cry mucous secretions coming from the nose are also present?
Because crying is an emotional response that is related to the parasympathetic nervous system. When it gets activated, most all of the parasympathetic responses are elicited, and one of them is to increase the secretion of mucous throughout the body along with the tears. So that is why your nose runs too.
What else can I help you with?
Why would you want mucous membranes to be moist?
Moist mucous membranes help to provide a barrier against pathogens by trapping and removing potentially harmful particles from the air we breathe. Keeping the membranes moist also helps with the function of mucous production, aiding in the protection and lubrication of our respiratory and digestive systems.
Why do you have air and mucous membrane in nose?
Air and mucous membranes in the nose serve important functions. Air helps us breathe by providing oxygen to the lungs, while mucous membranes help to filter, warm, and humidify the air we breathe. The mucous membranes also produce mucus, which traps and removes debris and pathogens from the air before it reaches the lungs, helping to protect the respiratory system.

How does microorganisms get out your body?
Microorganisms can leave the body through various mechanisms such as being eliminated in feces, urine, saliva, or mucous secretions. They can also be expelled through coughing, sneezing, or skin shedding. In some cases, the immune system can effectively fight off the microorganisms and reduce their numbers within the body.
Do mucous cells and serous cells stain the same?
Basically, no. Assuming a standard H&E stain, Serous cells will stain darker, and appear much more granular as their secretions contain large quantities of enzymes (namely Lysozome), hence you will also find the serous cells also contain large quantities or Rough ER, required for protein (enzyme) manufacture. Mucous cells secrete mucin, which has a large water carrying ability, and so you will find mucous cells (such as goblet cells, or mucous cells of the sublingual gland) stain much clearer in comparison to serous cells. A good histological comparison of these different cell types can be made by looking up a couple of the salivary glands. A parotid gland, which will have large numbers of serous cells (heavily stained), and also a few adipocytes dotted about the place (these will be stained VERY clear). A sublingual gland will have large numbers of mucous cells, and just a few serous cells dotted about the place. If you then look at a submandubular gland, this would be good for comparison, once you've got the hang of what the different cells types look like, as this gland has a fairly even mix of serous and mucous cells. If you don't have access to a microscope and prepared stained sections, then there's plenty of images on the web, or in Histology text books. Hope this helps. Will UK Medical Student

What is produced by epithelial membranes as a first line of defense protection?
Mucous secretions are produced by epithelial membranes as a first line of defense protection.

Additionally, epithelial membranes also produce antimicrobial peptides that can help to kill or inhibit the growth of pathogens.

Why is your nose stuffy when you have a cold?
During a cold or respiratory infection, the mucous membranes in the nose and sinuses swell and also produce more mucous. This causes a feeling and sounds of "congestion". Drinking warm fluids and inhaling warm mist (say from a cup of tea) can temporarily open the sinuses. Cold and flu medications can reduce the inflammation and dry the excess mucous secretions.
What exactly is the mucus plug and what does it look like or how can you tell if you have just lost yours?
The mucous plug is a collection of cervical mucus that seals the opening of the cervix. It keeps bacteria and infection from entering into the cervix, providing a protective barrier for the developing baby.Some women describe the mucous plug as looking more like the mucous in your nose. It may look like a thick glob of stringy mucous, thicker than what you would see with normal vaginal secretions. If you are close to going into labor you may see pink, brown, or red blood around the edges of the mucous plug. This is called the "bloody show".Some women will lose their mucous plug or part of their mucous plug weeks before they go into labor. Losing your mucous plug does not always mean labor will begin shortly. Keep in mind that even if a woman has begun to dilate, it may be weeks before she actually goes into labor.However, if you notice blood tinged mucous before your thirty-sixth week of pregnancy, notify your doctor right away.As your body prepares for labor your cervix will begin to dilate and thin. As your cervix opens up, your mucous plug may fall out. Losing your mucous plug is a good sign that labor is on its way. Though, it could be days or even weeks after you lose your mucous plug before labor actually starts. Many women do not lose their mucous plug at one time; instead, they lose it more gradually. They may notice an increase in vaginal secretions weeks before they go into labor.If you are full term and have lost your mucous plug, there is usually no need to call your doctor. You may lose your mucous plug weeks before labor starts. If you notice regular, timeable contractions after losing your mucous plug, follow your doctor's protocol for proceeding to Labor and Delivery. If you have a history of preterm labor and you suspect you have lost your mucous plug, call your doctor right away. If you notice blood tinged mucous and are earlier than thirty-six weeks call your doctor immediately. Moreover, you should also call your doctor if you have sudden bright red bleeding. Bleeding can be a sign of placenta previa or placental abruption.
