Mucous gland, also known as muciparous glands, are found in several different parts of the body, and they typically stain lighter than serous glands during standard histological preparation. Most are multicellular, but goblet cells are single-celled glands.
Function of mucous glands:
Saliva Moistens, Lubricates, Digests, and Protects. There are two general types of salivary glands: serous glands secrete mainly a watery fluid; mucus glands secrete more viscous saliva that contains mucin. Mucin is a class of high molecular weight glycoproteins that are expressed by epithelial tissues.
