Question
Chapter 13, Problem 12SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The specific protective function of mucus secreted by tracheal goblet cells.
Introduction:
Goblet cells found in the trachea secrete mucus. This mucus is primarily composed of polysaccharides, globulins, and a mixture of inorganic salts. Mucus helps in the entrapment of foreign particles and facilitate their removal.
