Definition:any functional anomaly of any exocrine gland in which the principal secretory cells are mucus-secreting cells; mucus is a slippery secretion with lubricating or protective function produced by, and covering, mucous membranes; mucous fluid is typically produced from cells found in mucous glands, but may also originate from mixed glands, which contain both serous and mucous cells; mucous cells secrete products that are rich in glycoproteins and water; mucus is a viscous colloid containing antiseptic enzymes (such as lysozyme), immunoglobulins, inorganic salts, proteins such as lactoferrin, and glycoproteins known as mucins that are produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes and submucosal glands
Synonyms:exact_synonym: abnormal glandula mucosa physiology;   abnormal muciparous gland physiology;   abnormal mucousal gland physiology;   abnormal mucus-secreting gland physiology
