Mucoid cells secrete gastric mucus and are common to all types of gastric glands.
Mucoid cells are the main cell type found in the gastric glands in the cardiac and
pyloric areas of the stomach. The necks of the glands in the body and fundic parts of
the stomach are lined with mucoid cells.
Mucous membrane, membrane lining body cavities and canals that lead to the
outside, chiefly the respiratory, digestive, and urogenital tracts. Mucous membranes
line many tracts and structures of the body, including the mouth, nose, eyelids,
trachea (windpipe) and lungs, stomach and intestines, and the ureters, urethra, and
urinary bladder.

mucoid cell: epithelial mucous surface cells

Epithelial mucous surface cells (A) extend into the gastric pits (B) of the mucosal
lining in the lumen of the stomach (C, gastric glands; D, muscularis mucosa of the
stomach).

Mucous membranes vary in structure, but they all have a surface layer of epithelial
cells over a deeper layer of connective tissue. Usually, the epithelial layer of the
membrane consists of either stratified squamous epithelium (multiple layers of
epithelial cells, the top layer being flattened) or simple columnar epithelium (a layer
of column-shaped epithelial cells, the cells being significantly greater in height than
width). These types of epithelium are notably toughable to endure abrasion and
other forms of wear that are associated with exposure to external factors (e.g., food
particles). They also typically contain cells specially adapted for absorption and
secretion. The term mucous membrane comes from the fact that the major
substance secreted from the membranes is mucus; the principal constituent of
mucus is a mucopolysaccharide called mucin.

Mucous membranes and the mucus they secrete serve primarily in protection and
lubrication. For example, particulate matter and pathogens (disease-causing
organisms) become trapped in secreted mucus, preventing their entry into deeper
tissues, whether the lungs (in the case of the respiratory tract) or tissues lying
immediately beneath the membrane layer. The membranes and mucus also help to
keep underlying tissues moist.
Mucus, viscous fluid that moistens, lubricates, and protects many of the passages of
the digestive and respiratory tracts in the body. Mucus is composed of water,
epithelial (surface) cells, dead leukocytes, mucin, and inorganic salts. Mucus is
produced by mucous cells, which are frequently clustered into small glands located
on the mucous membrane that lines virtually the entire digestive tract. Large
numbers of mucous cells occur in the mouth, where mucus is used both to moisten
food and to keep the oral membranes moist while they are in direct contact with the
air. Mucus in the nose helps to trap dust, bacteria, and other small inhaled particles.
The stomach also has large numbers of mucous cells. Gastric mucus forms a layer
about one millimetre thick that lines the stomach, protecting the organ from highly
acidic gastric juice and preventing the juice from digesting the stomach itself.
