The submucosal glands are a companion to goblet cells which also produce mucus, and are found lining the same tubes. [2] In the upper respiratory system of mammals there are submucosal glands in the airways, notably in the sinuses, the trachea and the bronchial tubes. [1] In the visual systems of mammals. In the auditory systems of mammals.
