Goblet cells

Goblet cells are mucus-secreting cells which lie in the walls of glands and ducts lined by columnar cells, either plain or ciliated. Goblet cells secrete mucus or mucin and express it on to the surface; they act as mucus secreting glands and are most numerous where a considerable amount of mucus covers the surface as in the stomach, colon and trachea.
