mucous secretion
Mucous secretion refers to the process of producing and releasing a viscous, clear to slightly yellowish substance known as mucus. This substance is primarily composed of glycoproteins, enzymes, lipids, salts, and water. Mucous secretion is performed by specialized cells in various tissues throughout the body, such as the mucous membranes lining the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. The primary functions of mucus are to protect and lubricate these tissues, trap and remove foreign substances and microbes, aid in digestion and facilitate the transport of materials within the body.
